Although he was more than content with his immortal body of bone, his skeletal form began to deteriorate after too many resurrections, and he would soon learn that even bone could perish. Untold years have passed as they accumulated into centuries and Ostarion's domain kept growing larger. This includes his attack against the Dreadknight, and his conquest on a small kingdom known for its textile specialists. Ostarion's campaigns as the Skeleton King have been retconned and transferred to his next incarnation Wraith King. Soon, his kingdom became a cold, immaculate white land made of nothing but bone that could not move unless he willed it. His armies conquered the adjacent kingdoms, extending the reach of his eternal realm, while he extracted the bones of his enemies. Not content with the lands currently in his domain, and with the belief that he could not die as long as he kept building his kingdom in bone, he set his sights on the neighboring lands and the bones of their inhabitants to satisfy his thirst for life. Each stone of his kingdom was painstakingly replaced with its equivalent in bone the roads have been paved with bone the walls of his palace are lined with fired bone, and even the natural aspects of the land such as the trees have been felled and replaced with replicas of bone. Like what his court mage did to him, he began to recast his family's empire into an immortal land of bone. He gained a deep mistrust for all things fleshy and an obsession for bone, which he believed was imperishable unlike flesh. Ostarion's ossification was a life changing experience for him. Having almost experienced death for himself and defied it once, he swore to never submit to death ever again. The disease nearly claimed him as well, until their desperate court mage Azorszos cast an ossification ritual on him, scouring the prince's flesh and turning him into a being of animated bone. Once a mortal royal, the young prince Ostarion was swiftly brought to the throne when his royal family succumbed to a swift rotting disease.
