I like this version a lot better...Lady Alevari’s LamentAdditional information about hex 29.14Connects to various places in 29.14 and 16.18Lord Alevari is not as he once was. His grizzled hair has turn midnight black and his paunch and chins have fallen away. His sons are not pleased with this and they hoped to gain their inheritance before their debts come due. But even those who wish the lord well are unnerved by his glassy eyes, distant manner and the way in which the once strong-willed lord now defers to his young wife in all things. They whisper about how she must have placed him under and evil enchantment and about the furtive-eyed men that can now be seen slipping into the Alevari manse.They are wrong. Lady Alevari loves her husband so she turned him into a zombie. After the good lord came down with the Courting Death (the one that makes you cough a bit and then suddenly a while later BAM brain fever and death umpteen pages back) she despaired. Every night she could not sleep, not knowing when death would return to claim her beloved husband. Finally she decided to claim her husband for herself to keep him beyond death’s clutches and slew him with foul magic and then revived him as a zombie from within a bag of his own skin (16.18).But Lord Alevari is not as he once was. Although his form is more pleasing the passion and humor that earned his wife’s love has left his eyes and Lady Alevari cries each night in bitter lament.But she has not given up. In order to raise funds she has procured a few strange worms from the cultists of the Swarm that eat the bodies of the dead and produce the finest silk after sated from their feasting. Those who wear clothes fashioned from such clothes are visited by dreams of the dead, but this is of little importance to the desperate lady. She hopes that with enough money she can hire a wizard skilled enough in the magical arts to restore her husband to her. However this has drawn the attention of the Necromantic Office and it is doubtful that this affair will end well for the fair lady.Hooks:-Tell me more about the Alevari family.-Who supplied the magic that slew Lord Alevari? Is the lady a sorceress herself?-Who had been eaten to produce the silk? Who has dreamed their dreams?-Who does Lady Alevari hope to pay to provide magic to restore her husband? Is such a thing even possible?</blockquote>
