Deep in a tomb, found only in the Frozen Wastes of Brogenstien is a Sorcerer hidden by magic. Here Deimos finds his target and waits for the creature to show itself while his guardian fights the other lesser beasts. Only when the Dracolitch shows itself does Deimos leave the cover of magic and uncertainly casts Control Undead onto the creature.
To his surprise it stops and turns on the very beasts that fought for it before. Once free from harm Deimos takes the Dracolitch to the Peak in Brog mountains where he studies the creature. Looking for any resemblance in the magic holding it together and comparing it in his mind to the reanimated in his control, he then jots down anything found for further research at a less dangerous location.

No one travels to the peak to his surprise during his time there so he informs the Dracolitch that he wishes to strike a deal, that he will return. Then with it still under his control tells it to return to its lair. With the danger gone and Deimos feeling somewhat relieved he heads to Tarkuul, specifically to the Temple of Velsharoon and its library searching for anything that might fit in with his notes.

Here at the temple of Velsharoon Deimos can be found thumbing through books in search for anything to compare his notes to.

He carries several books back to the table and starts reading through them. Only briefly does he refer to his notes then tucks them back into the pages of his Undead Behavior and sets the book aside.

As he continues to read he takes note of any written locations that might make for a good start for a Archaeological dig-site. He also looks for any mention of rituals unknown to him. He spends the next few days here doing the same. Only leaving to gather more information and or to converse with others outside Tarkuul.

He is met in one of his trips by a young Drowess. She introduces herself as Headmistress Irae'arra D'Tsab, and remarks that she is at his disposal for anything he deigns needed.

Upon meeting the headmistress he responds in kind asking for only one thing

"I would like to meet with you again and take some time to talk about something that may help Tarkuul in the long run. I shall make a proper request as I am sure you are busy."

Deimos takes some time away form his studies to speak with Kehruin and Sabel about their fields of research and the possibilities of entrance to a undisclosed location.

Later, back at his table he makes note after note. Jumping from book to book.

Novel of a Necromancer - Pg.3 Crypts in Moribund, Crypt of the Burning Dead and The Tomb of Ankh'Remon.
Pg.4 Fresh and most resent undead in Ankh'Remon's Tomb.
Origins of Undeath "Negative Energy"
*Atrocity calls to Unlife: "Evil" or acts of extreme power & dominance over others can in-fact resonate multiple dimensions. Thus in extreme cases opening cracks reality of the prime allowing Negative energy to flow through. (This could prove useful later on)
*Undeath as Contagion: For example, those infected by a bite from a ghoul will suffer the disease known as ghoul fever. If one was to perish from this disease or while having this disease in the system they will rise again as a ghoul the following midnight.
Novel of a Necromancer - Pg.5 Just outside of Nes'ek is where Ankh'Remon's Tomb lies.
"Vampire is "Imperfect" because it suffers from the taint of humanity." (Never looked at it this way. I simply enjoy this point of view)
(Paragraph five. Possibility/starting point for ritual)
Pg.9 "Phylactery" (I must research this word further and its relationship to Demilich/liches)
Pg.10 Kraven's Tome & the Necronomicon (Must get Demiliches Skull!)
Pg.11 Spire of Falazure, Falazur was Lord of Dracoliches. ([Spell seeds] Located in the underdark possible lead to creating my own Bone Dragon)
Pg.13 (Locate this specific book on Lathanderan dogma. Held in Kohlingen's library. Seed of Life)

After finishing Origins of Undeath and tucking away a copy of Novel of a Necromancer does Deimos set out for Kohlingen and its library.

Deimos and Yance make their way through Darkhold where they find a locked and trapped door. With luck Yance is able to remove the trap and unlock it. Once open Deimos bolts int the room like a child finding a new puppy to play with. Excitedly he rummages through the books looking for either something about Lathandaren dogma and the Seed of Life, the Necronomicon and or Kraven's Tome.

Later that day, being introduced to Lilith had proven to be well worth it for Deimos. In passing he mentioned his search for Kraven's Tome and thus the travel to the manor had began. Though to everyone's surprise, even Lilith. About halfway to the Lord of the Manor she realized she still had a copy and no use for it. Now holding the Tome Deimos was shown how to create the Bone Golem near the Dracoliches lair.

Returning to Tarkuul, Deimos heads to the Temple of Velsharoon and offers thanks to his Lord then walks to the Castle's library for further study.

Late into the day Deimos suddenly comes across a mention to spell's called Seed of Life and Seed of Death. Knowing these spells to be out of his reach. It dawns on him the waste of time and resource spent. His search through Kohlingen, his visit to the chapel of Lathandar in Cordor and its Temple in Nes'ek, and yet nothing was found.

He slams the book onto the table. "Are you kidding me?!" His voice echos within the library. Sabel, who just passed him moments earlier walks up, gives him a look and asks. "Book not entertaining enough?" He crumples his notes pertaining to the Life and Death Seed's and drops it.
Swatting the book to one side he responds, "No..useless." He stands as Sabel makes a comment on books in general. "I need to start fresh. Getting a Bone Dragon this way cannot be done, unless one has the spells already!" He exclaims. Sable makes the well known statement about more then one method to reach a goal, while Deimos takes his copy of Kraven's Tome off the table, tucks his notes into the pages and then bags the book.

Finally calming down he says, Well...back to work. He picks up the Novel of a Necromancer and places it on the table. Then moves to the bookshelf, where due to suggestions made by Sabel. He starts looking for any book or reference made about the Dracolich in the Frozen Wastes. Who he was before, what he had done or was doing and who was or is his enemies.

Upon entering the Crypts of the Burning Dead and making way to the Lower Crypts does Deimos find several runes surrounding a statue, the runes all a glow. They seem to be a small part of a larger spell or ward that most likely is aiding the reanimation of the dead here. He copies the symbols to the best of his ability and though not directly useful, he figures if he was to find a new undead servant he wished to keep he might be able to make use of it to reanimate the servant were it destroyed.

Further down in Muuruudamned's lair, Deimos copies each inscription and rune. Making note of placements of the candles and the hue of the crystal sitting before the desk. He also takes his time browsing each bookshelf and the books on the desk. Once done, Deimos takes a step towards the center room. Suddenly the undead along with Muuruudamned himself reformed. Quick thinking is the cause of Deimos' next action, casting Greater Sanctuary he leaves the dead to themselves. Now home. Deimos spends most of his time carving each symbol into the stone floor, in-circling an alter dedicated to Velsharoon. Figuring he would use the alter as a focus point much like the statue appeared to be, Deimos sets a pile of freshly acquired skulls upon one of the runes and hopes for the best.
"There... at least this will be ready."

Meeting with Lilith in Tarkuul had improved Deimos' possibilities of success even further. Though she exhibited great mood swings, from highly intellectual and in control of her temper to bloodthirsty and brash, she had still proven to be of use. Lilith informed him that she had notes she needed to review that might help, Deimos asked what it was she wanted in return the answer should have been obvious. Deimos left to obtain part of the ritual and thanks to Draco's information, was kept from looking a fool.

At his house, Deimos waits and partly hopes Lilith survives long enough to get to him. While there he attempts to fill the runes carved into the stone floor and the alter to Velsharoon with negative energy. Making sure he has correctly copied the spell found.
