       Agaros Xamaroth - Necromancy as a Weapon Against the Undead

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       This book is...begrudingly...dedicated to Velsharoon, the
       Archmange of Necomancy.
       He is a perfect example of the relentless, amoral pursuit of
       power, and possibly the greatest Red Wizard in the history of
       Thay.
       Better luck next time, Szass Tam.
       ----
       I was born in Thay, and saw the atrocities. Legions of undead
       were used to handle ceaseless labor of everyday life. All for
       the ignoble glory of the Zulkirs.
       Ask any citizen about the Zulkirs, and the lich lord, Szass Tam,
       will be brought up. In response to these horrors, Necromancy
       became my first specialization. As the old adage goes, 'knowing
       is half the battle.'
       I saw what was being done with countless corpses. I chose to
       combat those who would dare to tread down that dark path.
       The process of becoming a lich, in far too many instances,
       requires amoral and many times, evil acts. Once the transition
       is complete, a lich must consume souls to coninue its existence.
       As a lich ages, the undead's mind deterioates. This becomes even
       more troublesome as the necromancer who became a lich was not
       very far away from madness to begin with.
       To combat undeath and madness, you must use spells to protect
       yourself against negative energy and erect mental barriers to
       preserve your sanity.
       There are many spells that are specific to destroying undead.
       Vampires are particularly vulnerable to Sunburst. Undeath to
       Death will destroy all but the strongest creatures.
       It is possible to disguise yourself among the mindless shambling
       hordes to get closer to the true power controlling them. It also
       possible for a sentient undead to develop a 'blush of life' to
       fool others for a time.
       Always be wary when using this formidable power of life and
       death. I have said many times, power is an addictive, silent
       toxin - consume it at your own risk.
