Unrest has fallen over Aetherius as the Necromancer has been in search for children to experiment on. Only a few were willing to bring him what he required, making his research slow.

Thankfully, with the help of Maglust, Sare, and Khizan, he was able to gather what supplies and children he needed to finish the first step of his research. With his work with children closing, he offered the last few subjects to Nigometh to help in Stavenn's post office, doing his bidding in hope to keep things running smoothly.

Once this was done, Hasnar reconfigured his machine, allowing it to accept much bigger prey. He explained to Maglust and Khizan how to gather zombies for his experiments, as well as agreeing to never accept children again.

Meanwhile, in the Blue Knuckle, Ricmorn, Galix, and Bathan have been hard at work.

Galix, doing his best to accept all children brought to him, was unfortunately running out of room. Bathan, being the protector that he is, did what he could to get more space made for the children. He spoke with Ricmorn who agreed to relinquish the cellar as a temporary home to keep them safe.

After gathering supplies, and putting a few of the children to work, the cellar has been repurpose into a safe-haven. Bathan has promised to watch over the Blue Knuckle, keeping those found safe from the Necromancer's grasp.
