The Man, The Myth, the Legend.
The Man, The Myth, the Legend. How Stalvan deserves the dark powers and the legend he’s gained are honestly unclear to me. Make no mistake, what he did was rather heinous. He killed at least 5 people, possibly more if he killed the Flintridges’ other servants or any bystanders. But was the crime itself so bloody and gruesome that it attracted the necromantic energies and damned spirits that flock to Stalvan’s old haunts and protect his past? There’s two theories I can think of as to why this is so. The first is that he lives in Duskwood. Duskwood is a place that is currently in the grip of a powerful darkness. It seems a magnet to dark forces and misfortune. It may be that the darkness gripping Duskwood or the demonic power radiating from nearby Karazhan somehow latched on to Stalvan’s insanity and negative emotions and manifested all these powers and turned him undead. The other possibility is that he’s always been a Necromancer. Perhaps the mysterious headmaster Crillian was a Necromancer or a Warlock. This would also match up with the mysterious happenings with the undelivered letter in Goldshire. Certainly if he’s had Necromantic powers all along, it would explain why he’s summoned ghosts to help protect his past and ghouls
