I wanted to say to whoever did the art for this splash - great job. The fear on Jayce and Sejuani's face tell us so much- that Karthus is their friend, that he's doing something forbidden, and that he doesn't care. He wants that power and he won't let his allies get in his way. Superb story telling in a simple picture. I love it!

So I wonder: Is Karthus the Big Bad of the DND-skins and this shows how he unleashes his power upon the heroes or is he the token-evil teammate in an otherwise good/neutral group who goes for every eldritch tome that he comes across even if it might kill everyone.

I imagine it being almost exactly like the story of The Five Companions from the Elder Scrolls universe, with Karthus being Mannimarco. http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Five_Companions

He even looks like Mannimarco http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/villains/images/6/64/Mannimarco.png/revision/latest?cb=20140408135929?noredirect
