The Lich had remained in the same casual position whilst he and Belladonna were speaking. Now he leaned back a bit, the talk of Goblins was bringing back enjoyable memories, he had not fought a true war in decades and the Goblin conquests were little more than pest control after the first few months. That was after he was able to get past their fortifications of course. The Goblin invasions were however an interesting time for both of the Eastern Realms.

He leaned forwards slightly as his fellow monarch discussed the goings on in her own realm, he had no concern for the lives of newborns, after all the deeper on dug the more skeletons they were likely to find, and who has time to wait to train a soldier when you can simply raise one? It took a second for him to remember that not every magic wielder was a powerful necromancer such as he. The talk of scuffles however intrigued him. "I personally think Elves have always found something... Unsettling about Hags, then again I have yet to see an Elf not of use to me. Until that day I think we can stand a little racial tension, it always keeps things fresh when there has been no wars." He would however make a note of that bit of information, for one he would have to add some knights to the northern patrols to keep things in check, or maybe he would let the Azure Knight deal with them.

He had to agree with Belladonna that they could not stand alone here. No doubt that the two nations standing together would draw others to them, maybe even powerful allies. He had almost fazed out when he realized Belladonna was still talking. "The Black Forest will support any decision you make." He bowed his head slightly "An alliance as old and powerful as ours, well now. We cannot allow a simply difference of opinion to tear us apart, neither of us wishes to loose power here. Immortality is rather dull without something like politics to pass the time I find."

If Anvarwel had possessed any flesh it would be now that he would have grinned, the posse sing and sometimes sharing of information was something of a joy of his, particularly when that piece of information was thousands of years old. "Some time ago I came across a legend, well several legends with one major connection actually. You do not want to know how I found them nor how long it took me to get them. Tell me, have you ever heard the of the God of Undeath?" He paused for a moment to let the title sink in. "It is said many millennia ago an ancient Lich discovered, through dark magic, a way of becoming a creature of dark power. To do this it searched for decades, eventually discovering the last piece of the puzzle, a black Dragon. It was here were the lines between fiction and legend begin to become harder to define, the most realistic source I could find was this God of Undeath began to rule a mighty empire. A common theme that seems to repeat on a cycle, but I'm distracting myself. This so called god was eventually defeated after nearly 1000 years ruling by an unnamed savior, who seemed to simply vanish into time itself. Of course, the likelihood of this tale being true is small, but stranger things have happened even in the last 100 years and the rewards... Well I think you get the picture." He stopped for a moment to look out of the window, he considered whether this Dark Lord would listen or simply think he was being mocked, at least he could come up with a secondary bargain, he turned back to Belladonna. "I believe that holding an edge over this Dark Lord when I go to meet him may work in our favor. If I am aware of secret knowledge it may unnerve him into making a foolish decision. So tell me, what does the man who has everything but us seek?"
