Mortanius's Death Orb

As I touched its surface, calm filled me. Gone was the hunger, the rage that would entice, and only the sweet dark serenity of death remained.

The Death Orb was a token of power, gifted to Mortanius the Necromancer by the Pillars of Nosgoth. The Orb granted Mortanius dominion over the grave and possibly helped him to summon and control spirits and undead creatures. Possessed by Hash'ak'gik the Hylden Lord Mortanius met with Kain at the Pillars during the conclusion of Blood Omen. After a brief battle Mortanius's body was fully taken over by Hash'ak'gik and ultimately destroyed by Kain. Kain claimed the Orb as Mortanius's token of power; noting it's unusual abilities before placing the Orb at the base of the corrupted Pillar of Death. The Pillar accepted its offering and for a brief moment was restored.
