The wraith can have no more than seven dread specters under its control at one time.

A dread wraith is the spirit of an evil creature that died in the era before written history, as the planes were still forming, its soul extinguished by raw negative energy. It dwells in the most ancient and forgotten shrines of the Undergloom, buried under the strata of millennia of underworld dungeon builders. Regional Effects If the shrine containing a dread wraith is unsealed, it is free to roam, and warps the dungeon and lands above in the following ways: The land within 1 mile of the dread wraith's lair is infused with negative energy. Plants wither and cannot grow; animals flee the area; nonmagical fires cannot burn. When a humanoid dies within 1 mile of the dread wraith's lair, it must succeed on a DC 15 Charisma saving throw or have its soul extinguished and rise as a specter.
