Bekel

Bekel

Location:ice planet.gif?400The fourth planet in the Jesenreth Sphere, a terrestrial, ice-covered world heavily populated and ruled by undead. Spelljammer stories hold that thousands of years ago, Bekel was a green and fertile world, colonized by a union of humans, elves, and dwarves from another sphere. They thrived, until one day a mysterious "dark star" fell from space, first corrupting the Bekelites with evil, then slaying and raising them as undead, mainly wraiths and wights.

Bekel is ruled by an archwight who calls himself the master_of_the_star, as he wields a mace whose tip is a remnant of the star and is a mighty necromancer. The hundreds of thousands of undead under his control have turned the upper levels of the ice (most of Bekel's former atmosphere, frozen) into a complex network of necropolises. It is believed that the undead of Bekel are in the last stages of developing Spelljamming technology in order to spread their undeath to other planets.

Bekel has a circumference of 13,708 miles.
