In other games they are normally found in packs, becuase they tend to be not very strong alone. I belive that the other two are made up, but I could be wrong. Maybe they can be found elsewhere. ~Talia

Thanks, I don't know anything much older than D&D, I have played in games where there are skeletal lords. They were by the "Forgotten Realms" series. They have them, I don't knwo if anyone else did before them. A night lord sounds familiar, from elsewhere (not Rink works), but I cannot recall where. The others I am not totally sure about. ~Talia
