The Zombie Plague of Cortton is an [[event]] depicted in the final chapters of [[Death of a Darklord]]. [[Cortton]], a [[village]] in [[Kartakass]], was overrun by [[zombie]]s, and any of [[the Living]] whom died in Cortton rose as one of the [[undead]]. The [[Brotherhood of Broken Blades]] were called in to save the town. The Plague was part of a [[trap]] set by [[Harkon Lukas]], for him to hunt them down one by one. In addition, the [[corruption]] of [[Elaine Clairn]]'s magical power provided another secondary complication.

==Details==
The Zombie Plague of Cortton was a [[conspiracy]] hatched by [[Harkon Lukas]] with the ultimate goal of escaping his [[domain]] using the body of [[Conrad Burn]], a [[mage-finder]] and member of the [[Brotherhood of Broken Blades]]. Because of his malicious nature, Lukas also sought to destroy his fellow mage-finders before capturing Burn's body via [[soul transference]] [[amulet]]s. To accomplish these goals, Lukas needed to lure the mage-finders into a [[trap]] that would keep them distracted. Lukas [[tempted]] the aged and dying [[Calum Songmaster]] into betraying his friends with the promise of a youthful body. Calum succumbed, sending a letter for help.

Lukas did not execute the zombie plague himself. He merely suggested it to [[Marland Ashe]] as a method of developing the way of perfecting the [[reanimation]] process to bring Ashe's late wife back from the dead. The numerous zombie reanimations were in a sense part of a great [[experiment]] to work out a [[necromantic]] spell so life-like it could restore the dead fully to life.<ref name="p. 288-293">p. 288-293</ref> Marland began by animating [[corpse]]s stolen from the vast [[graveyard]]s outside of Cortton, the graveyards so large the dead outnumbered the living.

Marland's end came at the hands of Harkon Lukas. Lukas stabbed Marland's in the back merely to save face and conceal his involvement in the [[conspiracy]]. The mage-finders set Marland's home ablaze, burning many of the zombies in the process.<ref name="p. 284-285, 294-303"> p. 284-285, 294-303</ref>
