General reporting to Bones, Supreme Immortal:
"Sire, despite sound defense, we were raided by Eriu's pretender and 10 thugs. We regret to report that we killed only 2 of his thugs. many provinces were lost."

Bones chuckles. "Eriu will find getting his thugs into my lands is easier than getting them out. While he has only been a nuisance to this point, and i did not want to shift mages away from key research, the time has come to fully commit to the war effort. And that includes our mages.

"Let the Mind Hunts Begin in Ernest!"

"Also General, hard times call for hard measures. You may notice that our forces are now being bolstered by undead generals. I do not anticipate that your men shall ever be in close quarters with the undead.

But I have determined these Undead Generals are just what we need to take back our provinces from Eriu with minimal loss. Not to mention, should we outguess him and have our Bane Lords waiting in a province he attacks, his fey thugs will prove no match for our Undead Generals.

I also think these Undead Generals can kill that accursed Great Mother. Time will tell. If she has the heart to leave her dominion, I will kill her myself.
