	The [[Erathia\|Erathian]] guild has made a bold and perhaps foolhardy play for power. The guild leader and king of [[Deyja]], [[Deathknell]], sought to take the [[Erathia\|Erathian]] throne by assassinating [[Nicolas Gryphonheart\|Gryphonheart]] and then reanimating him as a ~~{{hv\|~~lich~~\|Lich}}~~, bound to his service. Well, he got as far as the reanimation, but the binding did not take. Instead, the lich killed [[Deathknell]]. Now [[Erathia]] and [[Deyja]] have a new king...and the guild has a new leader.

I took it from [[Nimbus]] in the guild [[Challenge of Dominance]]. Needless to say, I won. I wasn’t surprised by my success, but rather, at the ease of it. Really, if [[Nimbus]]’ powers are any measure of the state of the necromatic arts these days, clearly the guild has lost much of its wherewithal since my day.

	After the death of King [[Morglin]], Archibald attempted to seize the throne for himself by assassinating the Royal Seers and framing his brother Roland for their deaths. He allied with [[Enroth (continent)\|Enroth]]'s [[Warlock]]s and [[Necromancer]]s as well as with [[Jadame]]'s pirates. However, Roland managed to escape and rallied to him Enroth's [[Wizard]]s and [[Sorceress (class)\|Sorceresses]], as well as the dwarves. With these allies, Roland eventually defeated his brother and put an end to the [[Succession Wars]]. After his defeat, Archibald was turned into a stone statue by Roland's court wizard, Tanir.

I am forced to the sad conclusion that either the student or the master was a complete incompetent.

I took it from [[Nimbus]] in the guild [[Challenge of Dominance]]. Needless to say, I won. I wasn’t surprised by my success, but rather, at the ease of it. Really, if [[Nimbus]]’ powers are any measure of the state of the necromatic arts these days, clearly the guild has lost much of its wherewithal since my day. What we need is a systematic program of research. One which will re-instill in us the vigor of the past. It is hard to believe that this is the same guild of [[Henden’lal]] or [[Neberneith]]!
