OOC Sanukdarok is an Ork but he also has elemental powers. Of air.

Sanukdarok waited until the king had finished his prayers. He then repeated the message so that Turak could understand.

"Wu please enjoy the rest of the morning off" Ling said, gesturing towards the door. With a bow she left, feeling slightly dissapointed that the Emperor didn't trust her fully yet.

"Now we are alone wise one." Ling said "please speak freely"

"Oh, thank goodness. I thought I was going to be stuck with that religious king for eternity," he groaned. "What tool you so long? Damn be, I am going to kick someone' head if I hear one more prayer or Cycle shit."

"I am afraid I can't do that," replied Turak. "The gift and curse we bear is for ours alone to carry. It be used by nothing but the faithful, so they can continue their path in this Cycle."

(In layman terms 'nope')

"I see you're more cognisant than he gave you credit for" noted Ling "How, if I may ask, did you find yourself in such a predicament?"

"As he told you no doubt. He is sane enough in that," he spoke. "Plague came, everybody dying. We were asked to use our magic. And we ended up like these."

"Worst part wasn't waking up as one. It was keeping one' sanity intact. Which the Arbiters have completely written off the mountain with."

"I see. As I'm sure you have guessed by now that spell is what I am interested in. I am the ruler of millions of mortals, and I seek a way to preserve their lives. I hope your spell could be modified for my ambitions." Ling said, propping his head on his right hand. Clearly formalities were out the window, but he'd put up with a lot of it meant getting those secrets.

"I am curious about that myself. We had more than a hundred necromancers work on that spell," he spoke, walking around the room. "Namely it was a Body Preservation spell. Namely those you place upon corpses to prevent them from decaying. Such a use on a living being, would have in essence stopped all of their bodily functions even breathing."

"The King at the time, didn't know about it. It would have prevented the plague from however, jumping from one body to the other. We aren't however certain ourselves how we became...this - maybe somebody casted a Raise Dead spell instead," he continued. "A spell that can raise the dead - in essence. But it usually binds the raised to the caster. Since they are merely bones, and not living things. As you can see however, we retained our will and likely soul - keeping our will and binded to none."

"Hmm human magic must behave differently than demon magic" suggested Ling "When demons do group spells we just funnel our magic through the person casting it... that aside, did you include a spell to bind a soul to an inanimate object?"

"Not really. We were mostly focused on stopping the plague, that included in the rooster for saving our own skin," he replied. "As you can see, we didn't save alot. Just our bones."

"Just usual Preservation...and likely one idiot threw a Raise Dead spell in there. The result, you got this," he added.

"Wonderful then." Ling said, gesturing at his talisman "This is the 誓言护身符 Shìyán hùshēnfú. The talisman of oath. It has been blessed by three thousand years of demons making its magic unbreakable. Any who swear an oath to the wearer is bound by reality it's self, as is the wearer. For years scholars have sworn their oaths to my ancestors and been bound. This is how we have kept our secrets. I ask you humbly if you would consider offering an oath, so that none can steal secrets from your lips?"

Sanukdarok frowned but suppressed his annoyance. 'Fine, have it your way. But you would do well to know whom your allies should be'. With that Sanukdarok took a deep breath, closed his eyes and seemed to go into meditation. After about 30 seconds of this a portal opened in front of him. He gave the king one last look of annoyance before departing through the portal.

Molkarg, burns like fire, and dies like one too.
Drikdarok, strong as the earth and as ignorant.
Sanukdarok, knowledgeable and strong in magic, but weak inside.

Shedanaran the protector, Shedanaran the leader, Shedanaran the creator.

The Trinity will last for Eternity.

Molkarg was dead. Well not entirely. He was in communion with a Fell Beast, Darthyxithruz, and as such his life force was in it's hands. He lay, alone. Shedanaran did not know his whereabouts. His heart was not beating. His lungs did not stir. His body was cold. But his mind and soul were alive.
He was deep within a dream, that was reality. Darthyxithruz was in front of him, a towering wall of red shadow. A mist made of blood. He spoke in whispers 'Ashthulithanashelithesdurthi' he whispered, in a language with no rules. The entire language was made up as you spoke it, but in it's core it was a spell, a spell that linked the speaker to the listener, such a link that allowed telepathy. Molkarg spoke in reply, his voice sporadic and deep in comparison with Darthyxithruz. 'They are getting ready for war, many souls will be freed. Many will be able to be ensnared' he spoke in Druka, but his voice was warped and disrupted until it could not be understood. 'Shuthitanolshalathnoruth' Darthyxithuz said, and Molkarg was back in his own body. His heart started and warmth flowed through him. He stood up. Darthyxithruz had agreed to strengthen him and all the Dru. In return for a long and costly war which would bring him many souls. He wanted Shedanaran killed, and his soul to be brought so that Darthyxithruz could consume it, and gain the power of an aged and powerful demon, a pleasure he had not indulged in for centuries. He gave Molkarg instructions to gain strength, although he warned that it would make him weak at first. He assured Molkarg would still be himself, as long as he wore the object, without it he would be a husk. Molkarg agreed.

"If I can continue my work, fine by me. And you promise, that necromancy in the sense is atleast tolerated. Or simply categorized to be another branch of magic," he spoke, looking at the amulet.

Ling nodded "Necromancy in Xi'an is considered to be a specialization in magic, albeit one that isn't commonly chosen. But it is not looked down upon, it's just not as popular as elemental magic for obvious reasons."

Reaching into his robe Ling removed a scroll and held it out for him to take. On the scroll was the oath of Xianese scholars

"我的皇帝。你是地球的太陽和我們作為西安的自豪的源泉。我是一個謙虛的學者,尋求改善我和我的同胞的生活。我給你我的誓言,親愛的統治者,我只允許我的學習用於對西安的積極影響。我發誓永遠不要讓我的知識從我身上,無論是通過武力或通過選擇。我會早早死去,讓我的智慧離開這個王國。這是我作為一個學者的誓言,努力學習,保護我的知識,從那些誰會使用它對我們。我進一步發誓,允許你決定誰是或不是,被認為是敵人。"

The necromancer in question read out the fine line, before handling back the letter back to the Emperor. "I think the option of dying in my case, might be a little harder to enforce," he spoke, leaning on his staff. "What now?"

"True, your whole expertise is in not dieing" Ling admitted

With a sudden motion Ling slammed his hand into a gong, it's sound reverberated throughout the area. Within two minutes Wu was back within the room, bowing.

"This esteemed...man... will be my personal guest. He is helping me with a great problem that is our second highest national priority. Provide him with the best quarters, à private study and anything he asks for." Ling ordered in his passive tone

Looking at his guest he asked "What can I provide you to help your research?"

Molkarg was in a secluded cave with Drikdarok and Sunkdarok. He had told them about his communion with Darthyxithruz and his wishes. They had agreed to rebel. Now that they knew that Shedanaran wasn't some all-powerful god, they did not need to be afraid of him. There was a lava pit in the middle of the cave, and they each had a piece of metal and a mold. An anvil stood in a corner. Molkarg placed a stone bowl over the lava pit, which promptly heated up. He placed the metal in the bowl and it melted into liquid. He put the mold on the floor and poured the melted metal into it. It was held in the shape of a crown. Molkarg said some words in a whisper 'Drika unhgarkgutu (I give my strength to you)' A red light left his eyes, which turned them black. It went into the crown. This is what Darthyxithruz has said to do, 'make and object and pour your strength into it, and I will add some of mine. It will leave you weak, but when you wear it you will be strong'.
Molkarg fell to the floor, he seemed to be enveloped in shadow. He grabbed some tongs weakly and pulled the crown out, placing it into water. It hissed and the water glowed red, then purple. He grabbed for it with his hands and placed it on his head. The shadow left him and the color returned to his eyes. He took a deep breath and stood up. One thing was left to do. With his new strength in magic he bound the crown to his head, so that it could only be released by him. He nodded and Drikdarok did his next, with Sunkdarok after him.

----------

Molkarg, burns like fire for eternity.
Drikdarok, stands strong against all.
Sanukdarok, that which harms him comes to harm.

Darthyxithruz the great, Darthyxithruz the consumer, Darthyxithruz the creator.

"Any and all books you have about necromancy," he replied to the Emperor. "And namely, what do you wish for me to research."
