The Living and the Dead

Tell the King about the ghost's words.

Yes, this is the sword. It used to belong to a brave wandering knight. I knew him when I was alive... The charmed steel seems to remember the taste of my blood. Now it's falling into nothing, see? Its life is also over...
Let us not dwell in the past now. Our aim is to clean the Mound from demonic filth. You want to save the living. My purpose is to save the dead. We can do it together.
The undead in the Mound are half the problem. They are strong, all right, but completely brainless, so it's not really hard to defeat them, regardless of their numbers or how terrifying they are. The power that stands behind them, is a thousand times worse. Talk to the King, he will tell you more - his people were here yesterday.
Meanwhile, I will deal with the ghosts. It's time for them to rise and protect Umoir, as the ancient prophets predicted. After the final battle they and I will rest in peace. Don't reveal my presence. It is not time yet...

What is it?

It's so easy to say - we need an army at the Mound! If I only had an army, I wouldn't trouble you. We did sign a peace treaty with the soldiers, but Outlaws and Guards aren't on a friendship terms... This is comprehensible, of course. Each of them has blood of the other side on their hands...
