The Great Council of Krunkad
The Great Council of Krunkad is a group of seven lichs, the so called Garlar. Experts estimate the Council to be founded even before the Cataclysm, around Lisledom by Krunkad himself. No one really knows where Krunkad came from, or if he ever was something else then a lich. The six other lichs were some of the greatest human wizards of their time. They all became lichs with the help of Krunkad, having to swear their allegiance to Krunkad and his research before being allowed to start the procedure. The Council likes to celebrate their successes, which happens rarely in human time (or even elfen time), because of the duration of their experiments, which have gotten more complicated and expensive in resources and time.

Aftermath
Some say that the massacres by the Garlar are carried out long term, to make sure nobody really survives. They can trace relatives of their victims for longer than they live, yet to kill them all separately they ironically don’t have enough time. The only moment they feel to intervene is when offspring is due. It was not possible to prove this theory until this day, but it still is the most agreed upon.
Controversies
No proof by any scholar or nobleman exists, because the Garlar choose small locations not within direct reach of any military infrastructure. Many claim the government made up the Garlar, to cover up politically motivated crimes, such as in the much controversial Dwarven Relocation. A whole village of dwarves was forced to move to another place because of border disagreements. The next week it was found overrun by unknown forces.
