    About this ebook

    Any resident of Midgar could tell you the story of the War of the Dead. The tale of the vile necromancer that came out of the forsaken forest, and with his wicked sorcery, created an army of the dead to destroy the world of men. The few survivors of the onslaught fled to Midgar, where they held off the armies of the dead for years, until at long last the necromancer gave up, and returned to the northlands with his unliving army. They would go on to say that the necromancer to this day sits upon his throne of skulls, plotting the final destruction of humanity. It is a story of ancient villains, and young heros, and the story defines Midgar's character as a nation.

    The War of the Dead is a series of short novellas written as a historical narrative by a resident of Midgar several hundred years after the events in the story. After going through some of his ancestors old records, and finding that they conflict with the generally accepted history of the conflict, our narrator seeks to detail the war from a new perspective, and touch on the truth behind the tales.

    The Necromancer's Bargain begins the tale with the story of a woodcutter named Drel, who is about to find himself embroiled in events that will change the course of history.

    Latilya Sivar

    Latilya Sivar is a collector, writer, and compiler of histories. She spends much of her time in Midgar, collecting stories she believes to be of historical importance, as well as adding supporting details to give a fuller understanding of events. She will often add information that none but those directly involved could possibly have known, and this has given rise to speculation about her methods. Some claim her to be some sort of seer, others suggest she merely has many powerful connections, and still others claim her to be a charlatan writing false histories.
