The Maelstrom

The Maelstrom is a primordial force that has two main functions. First is that it serves as the ending place to all who die. First they go see Death, then ending up in Necross until they finally end up turning back into energy in The Maelstrom. The Maelstrom's second function is that it acts as the power source for all arcane magic. While it is unknown if the Maelstrom is strictly sentient, the Arclord can be considered its god - that is, it pours its power to the Arclord because it considers it to be holy.
