Notwithstanding Hevk Loz' comment, Geraine IV, also known as His Eternal Splendor, was a [[Dericost]] heir to the ice throne whose father, Geraine III came into contact with [[Falatacot]] witches who wanted to make their home on Ireth Lassel. The witches promised to make Geraine III's son immortal if he allowed them to stay in Ireth Lassel. Geraine III agreed, and they performed a blood ritual on Geraine IV, who died and was reborn an immortal on that occasion. Geraine IV proceeded to turn many of the Dericost nobles he associated with into immortals, but he botched many of these [[blood rituals]], and as a result many Dericost undead are ugly tattered corpses walking around.

Monarch of the fallen kingdom of Dericost, first Dericost to become an undead.
Hevk Loz tells you, "Sickly from birth, Geraine IV, was taken by sisters who had stepped aside from the path and brought into a state that would forever sustain his body, soul and mind. Geraine in turn taught his people, but the sisters were not so foolish to not enter this state themselves.

His death began his life anew."
[1]
Notwithstanding Hevk Loz' comment, Geraine IV, also known as His Eternal Splendor, was a Dericost heir to the ice throne whose father, Geraine III came into contact with Falatacot witches who wanted to make their home on Ireth Lassel.[2] The witches promised to make Geraine III's son immortal if he allowed them to stay in Ireth Lassel. Geraine III agreed, and they performed a blood ritual on Geraine IV, who died and was reborn an immortal on that occasion. Geraine IV proceeded to turn many of the Dericost nobles he associated with into immortals, but he botched many of these blood rituals, and as a result many Dericost undead are ugly tattered corpses walking around. (See Book of Minesh) Nobody ever sees Geraine IV, but Lord Rytheran and Lady Aerfalle are his consorts and they make appearances.
Geraine IV controlled the Filinuvekta, the Dericost faction controlled by the nobles of Dericost, most notably, Lord Rytheran, Lady Aerfalle. The Filinuvekta wished to continue to rule their kingdom in secret. The opposing faction, the Latzimestal believed that as the generals of Dericost they controlled the true power of the Kingdom, and should be able to rule it as they saw fit - openly as undead. The Latzimestal seized the realm from the Filinuvekta and launched an aggressive campaign of military expansion, until they were defeated by a coalition lead by the Kingdom of Haebrous, under King Jailne, and the Empire of Yalain, under Empress Alaidain. [3] Throughout the Millennium War, Geraine and the other Winds watch the Lords without interfering, but finally the Winds abandon Vasmora in disgust at the Lords' failures and excesses. The Winds create hidden fortresses in other parts of the world, notably Dereth, which they called Killiakta.[2] The two factions worked together during The Fourth Sending of Darkness to fight the forces of Bael'Zharon[4]
