Posted a CS in abidance of the ruleset. I hope my background doesn't contradict the general time scale you had in mind for everything, though I feel the need to clarify that Scolopendra is intended to be quite old. I also hereby claim ownership of the area around Witchlight Jungle and hope it doesn't contradict anything thus far, or clashes with whatever the actual lore behind that map might be to an unbearable degree. Furthermore, the collection of bones does of course serve a mysterious purpose that I'd prefer to keep secret as of now, but obviously will be shared with the OP if they want to check the validity/scale of insanity that plan includes.
Finally I admit that the whole necromancy deal is not quite off the table, but I think I can establish a variation thereof that is interesting and different enough to not interrupt whatever the other one might have planned. We might even be able to establish a multi-headed necromancy stereotype... of course, if it's 'too much of the same' I'll simply remove it and find another way around the communication issue.
