Rotath

Rotath was a Lemurian wizard who was slain by Kull. Kull had been recruited to kill Rotath by the king of Lemuria who feared Rotath's evil power. Rotath died in a shrine in a forest at the top of Lemuria's highest mountain. Before he died, Rotath cast a final spell, invoking the names of dark gods to put a death curse on anyone who disturbed his remains. The power of the spell transmuted his skeleton to solid gold as a way of attracting potential victims of the curse. He was also known as Rotath of the Moonstone and the Asphodel.
