===Backstory===
== Prologue ==
The war in [[Erathia]] is the greatest thing that could have happened for the nation of [[Deyja]]. A war of this scale is an endless harvest for our [[undead]] armies. Today we shall feast, and tomorrow we shall conquer [[Erathia]] for ourselves.

====Cinematic Briefing====
{{town|Necropolis|noname=}} Unnamed male general: Our nation's goal was to kill the man who banished us from [[Erathia]]. However, [[Nighon]] and [[Eeofol]]'s subsequent invasion has done us an unexpected favor. Erathia is strewn with the dead. For the [[necromancer]]s, this is a season of harvest. This is a season for war. Queen [[Catherine]] is a formidable foe. To defeat Erathia's remaining military, we need a tactician greater than her. We have a plan... an ironic plan. While Catherine organizes the last stages of her war with Nighon and Eeofol, you will sneak into Erathia and locate [[King Nicolas Gryphonheart|King Gryphonheart's]] grave. Be wary. The region is occupied by scattered Erathian. When the gravesite is found, we will resurrect the dead king and make him our pawn. With King Gryphonheart commanding our armies, his former home will become our land of the dead.

====In-Game====
Our spies tell us that the tomb of [[King Gryphonheart]] is located in the town of Stonecastle, near [[Erathia]]'s northern border, in a place that was clear of the war with [[Nighon]] and [[Eeofol]]. Seek this place out and capture it so that we may animate the body of the King.
You must also seek out the [[Spirit of Oppression]] and bring it to Stonecastle, as it is one of the items we need for the ritual to animate the King's body. But you must act quickly - the body will be of no use to us if its spirit departs.
