The victim of a longevity spell that backfired, the Skeleton King Ostarion has built an empire from the bones of his enemies. He lives only to extend his reach, for as long as he is perpetually building and adding to his domain he cannot die. The walls of his palace are formed of fired bone; the streets are lined with bones of every sort of creature and every adversary; and even the wood and other natural features of his land have been swept away and replaced with imitations formed of bone. From the Ivory Forest to Ostarion’s towering Throne of Bone, nothing happens in the Empire of Bones without the full knowledge of its Skeleton King. ABILITIES Hellfire Blast Skeleton King fires a sphere of hellfire at an enemy unit, creating damage and stunning, then increasing damage over time and slowing the target. Ability: Target Unit Affects: Enemy Heroes Damage: Magical Vampiric Aura Nearby friendly melee units gain hit points based on their damage.
