You arrive at the capital, with a horde of undead at you heels!

The guards scream:

"GET DOWN!"

A bunch of archers start shooting the approaching undead. About a hundred guys with shields run up to your group and escort them to safety. The last thing you see of the battleground is a large army of armored knights charging into the undead!

"These attacks are getting too common. I'm Dortmund, captain of the guard."

"Oh, Dortmund! You saved me again!"

"You keep getting into trouble, Lady Cecilia! Don't you know we are under siege by a necromancer?"

Siege by a necromancer? Are you serious?

"They are bound to run out of corpses in a few months. Until then, we should remain inside the city walls."

"Who is this necromancer?"

"It is a certain Pyrexas. He has a feud with the court magician. They studied together in the North."

"Don't worry. The capital has about a thousand armed men it can recruit at a moment's notice. We are not going to fall."

You say farewell to Lady Cecilia, who heads to the inner city.

You head to a much more mundane destination, in a local inn called "Soaked Dirge". It looks seedy and disreputable.

You want to learn magic, and it seems in here there are a few magically capable people. Though even here, there are very few.
