It is 12 random squares close to the fear inspiring one, not necessarily the squares surrounding him.

It might distribute lik this (X=targeted square, M=monster)

OXOOO
XXXXO
XXMXX
OOXOO
OOXOO

I think it targets a square, and if that one is already targeted it tries to target a random neigbopring square of the first attempted square
I use the Prince of Death quite frequently, and have often puzzled over the odd pattern of morale reduction. How come this one guy up close is unaffected but a whole square three ranks back is terrified? This explanation squares completely with my observations.
