Wraith had taken his master home to Umbara with that unique book. It was something the drak did not wish to waste time in looking at. Any other matter would be delegated, for his sole attention would be on discovering the origins of this obscene twist of magic. Wraith enjoyed his time away by returning to his other mephos, feeding and doing what he does best as alpha.
Candle after candle melted upon desk. Piles of parchments, other books for reference, anything that would help him further understand what it was he had here, yet nothing new would be gained. Smudges, ruined writing.. at least some of it seemed useless, until he would find what seemed to be a name; Craolist, then another name.. Morgreth. Nothing would cross his mind concerning these. He had no knowledge of them, both mentally, or in any book he could use from the library. Still, names would be important. The jottings of these mysterious powers were beyond him. He had next to no knowledge in using the magic of Water, let alone whatever it was these spells could muster.
The drak pulled a blank parchment in front of himself, and would begin to scribe.
To the Lady of Flames, L`aquera,
I write now, after days in darkness and candlelight, about a mysterious book that my companion Wraith had come upon from the pirate incursion. Until now, this tome has not been made known to anyone outside of myself and Wraith. This tome is filled with magic. While there are spells that are, for all intents and purposes, well known within the circles of Necromancy and Aquamancy, it's true secrets hide well within its pages.
I have found evidence within.. of two possible names. Craolist and Morgreth. Whom they are, I know not, however upon further reading, I have come across things I have never seen before. This book speaks of some unnatural mingling of Necromancy and Aquamancy as if it were one single magic. I cannot even begin to comprehend what is inscribed here. This is even beyond my knowledge, and my power.
For whatever purpose those pirates have had in possessing this tome, it is unclear. If this tome speaks of a mixture of these two schools of magic, I can only begin to imagine there may be another.. or more. It is imperative that this tome does not leave Umbara for the sake of everyone, and so I shall contain it separate from all other tomes deep within the bowels of the tower where none may tread.
Safe travels.
Archaon, Archlich of the Empire, The Soulkeeper, Headmaster of Umbara
Once the parchment was written, the drak rolled it up and tied it with a firm string, before placing the seal of Umbara upon it using wax. He would then summon one of the messenger fae to place this scroll within their care.
See to it L`aquera gets this scroll with utmost haste fae, lest your bones become my new piece of jewelry for my dear wife..
