I think the whole name of Necromancer [In reply to] Can't Post

Is sort of like the name that's passed down by legends and re-tellings, and it became an easy way to refer to him. That's the way I justify it to myself.

Originally, if he was believed to the the WitchKing, that person was a human (once) who dabbled in darker sides of magic. Over the years this tale was warped and eventually dark, necromantic magic became associated with the old fortress.

It's kind of like Internet rumors. They get blown completely out of proportion with each telling.

"Yeah, my cousin lived on the banks of the Anduin, and he said he saw Bigfoot, a big hairy shambling thing..." (actually Beorn)
"Well, my cousin said there's elf witches in the forest over that way"
"You don't say, Mr. Maggot?"
"What about this here, Necro-necromanticker? What's he all about?
"Ah, now that's where I know for a fact that he's that fellow who used to dwell in Rhudaur, but he was destroyed by the White wizards and..."

you get the idea...
