The Servants Left Behind

At Caer Darrow, Eva Sarkhoff told a story hidden behind the academy’s reputation. She and Lucien had survived in hiding before discovery delivered them to Krastinov’s experiments. Even death had failed to free them from the estate.

Her request gave the adventurers a task beyond reaching Gandling: attend to the remains of the people whom the school had used. Within Scholomance, the fight against necromancy therefore included an attempt to give its victims an ending.

The expedition’s enemies were not only the undead occupying its rooms. Living practitioners maintained the institution that had made the suffering possible. Confronting the headmaster struck at that continuing work, while Eva’s plea kept the household’s lost servants at the center of the story.
