=== Right-click text ===
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.
====Briefing====
[[King Gryphonheart]], the man who banished us from [[Erathia]], is dead. The [[Nighon]] and [[Eeofol]] invasion has given us the gift of death. At last we can build our armies and invade Erathia ourselves. First, however, we need a tactician. You must find the tomb of King Gryphonheart.

====Cinematic Briefing====
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]]'s strewn with the dead. For necromancers, this is the season of harvest. This is a season of 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 stage of her war with [[Nighon]] and [[Eeofol]], you will sneak into [[Erathia]] and locate the [[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 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.
===Quest/Objective===
To win, you must bring the [[Spirit of Oppression]] to the city of Stonecastle within three months. Seek out the [[Seer's Hut]]s - completing the Seer's Quest will all you to carry the reward to the next scenario.
Victory message, "Congratulations! You have reached your destination, precious cargo intact, and can claim victory!"


Defeat message, "Alas, time has run out on your quest. All is lost."

===Tips===
[[Category:Campaign scenarios]]
*The enemy starts with a more powerful hero than you start with featuring a throng of pikemen and a horde of crossbowmen. However his reinforcements are almost non-existent as the enemy does not purchase any structures.
*The enemy does not adventure past the first gate and rarely captures even the silos in their borders - so there is no reason to rush beyond that three month limit on the mission.
*After about 6 weeks, you will be powerful enough that you can easily crush Red.
*To acquire the [[Spirit of Oppression]] you must pass a series of artifacts through three [[Seer's Hut]]s.
#The first artifact to require is the [[Pendant of Total Recall]] which is located underground in the bottom left - heavily guarded by [[monk]]s and [[zealot]]s.
#Move the [[Pendant of Total Recall]] to Spiridion the Seer located above ground in the bottom left of the map.
#Move the [[Hourglass of the Evil Hour]] you acquired from Spiridion to Kae the Seer located underground in the top right closest to your castle.
#Move the [[Pendant of Dispassion]] you acquired from Kae to Heather the Seer located above ground to the left of your castle.
#Move the [[Spirit of Oppression]] to [[Stonecastle]] to complete this mission.
