Battle of Olum Seheri

Battle ยท Book 10 ยท Necromancer ยท Mixed

The calamitous raid that bound Korbal to a decaying host, freed Princess Rardine, and came within inches of destroying Sheruel โ€” at terrible cost in lives.

The Battle of Olum Seheri is the great raid of Necromancer. Minalan, Terleman, Dara, Lord Aeratas, and a picked force of the Alka Alon and humani storm Korbal's necropolis-capital to free Princess Rardine and strike at the Dead God's anchor.

They succeed in rescuing Rardine (Tyndal and Rondal leading the vanguard that reaches her cell), in binding Korbal to a decaying human host for the rest of the series, and in inflicting enormous damage on the Enshadowed command structure. Sir Cei comes within inches of destroying Sheruel outright with a single hammer-blow that cracks the great stone and darkens it nearly to black. During the raid Atopol secretly loots the Nemovorti vaults in the pyramid at Minalan's instruction โ€” an act not revealed until Preceptor.
