Death's Embrace
Every great craftsman feels pride when they behold their masterpiece — their greatest creation, unique and surpassing their previous works in every possible way. For Zacharius, his masterpiece is a ritual that transforms a mortal into a lich, one which circumvents the need for taxing trials of body and soul, as well as decades of preparation. Only one step separates the Commander from becoming the most powerful, the most perfect form of undead being... A step {mf|he|she} has yet to take.
Objectives

A single mistake, no matter how small, could lead to disastrous consequences. Unfortunately, the necromancers who could help Zacharius are engaged in the pointless war set off by Elyanka and Septimus. The Commander should bring {mf|his|her} unruly advisors to heel and put an end to the wasteful loss of useful servants.

- Inform Zacharius the conflict has been resolved
