Origins of the Obsidia Necromancer
The name of the Obsidia Necromancer is an homage to the very first Necromancer in AE's games - Kaley Obsidia, from the original AdventureQuest! A powerful sorceress who can raise and control the dead, she seeks the answers that lie hidden behind the ordinary, everyday lives we live. The NPC is based on a real staff member, one of the first Artix Entertainment team members from 2003, but who fortunately does NOT go around raising the dead!
Dage, being the Evil-appreciating artist he is, has always enjoyed Necromancer classes, and was inspired by the art of the original AdventureQuest when he created this set. You'll also be able to find variants of it coming in two of our future games: AdventureQuest: Battleon (for mobile) and AdventureQuest 3D!
