Infernal Karthus
The disciples of Karthus usher this infernal harbinger into the world by singing his discordant chorus, a pledge that beckons pillars of flame unto them.

Karthus was a brilliant scholar once upon a time.

Arcana Karthus
The Pattern is a perfect chorus, a divine harmony, one which Karthus conducts like a choir. His tenor rises alongside it, singing minor-key dirges and rousing paeans, somber elegies and soaring anthems. Death becomes life becomes death once more, and Karthus remains, ever-singing the pattern that weaves through all things.
