<p>A historian apprentice was on a routine chore delivering reading materials to the eccentric Master Apothecary’s house deep into the woods. Upon arriving, Kazimir Taleeb was stabbed through and left for dead by an unknown assailant who had already killed Master Ahriman the Apothecary. Upon waking, Kaz races back late at night in time to see the Blood Citadel, guardian of the Empire of Klavan against the Republic of Janaro, fall to the enemy. The castle town where he lived was now utterly razed to the ground, everybody living there executed by the occupying Janaro force. Several Janaro soldiers on patrol find a weakened Kaz and attempt to kill him for good, but a mysterious spectre saves Kaz by killing the soldiers with magic. </p> <p>It turns out the spectre is the ghost of Master Ahriman, who was not in fact a simple apothecary but the only Elder Necromancer left in existence. Having completed the ritual that would turn him into a lich upon his death earlier in the day, he got blackout drunk as a celebration. Unfortunately, a scout of the invading Janaro force discovered and murdered Ahriman an hour before the ritual was to take effect. Enraged, the ghost of Ahriman sped towards the Citadel just in time to save Kaz, who he takes as his new apprentice. </p> <p>Follow the journey of one apprentice and one drunken ghost as they attempt to unlock the secrets of life and death itself. </p>
