In time Fairhallow was beset by various creatures of undeath, where the people were sorely pressed to raise arms in their defense. And they did send an envoy to the foothills of Varendar, where legend placed the home of a magic practictioner. For the elder Jeanreph had oft spoken of the Sorceress, his father's friend of old, and she did remember her blood debt. Thus did she arrive in Fairhallow, and make her way to the tombs of Kynthose.
In the first days of battle the Sorceress cleansed the rabble of things in the surrounding lands, and the folk of that land were saved to go about their ways. Yet even these lowly undead resisted her, and some few had mind enough to flee into the crypt.
