=== <u>Wistram Days</u> ===

Qum and a small group of other influential mages were introduced to Ceria by her mentor, [[Illphres]]. He was one of the [[Wistram Days Challengers|five mages]] that came together to challenge Cognita in hopes of opening the doors to the upper levels of Wistram. <ref name ="Pt. 7">[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/11/21/wistram-days-pt-7/ S03 - Wistram Days (Pt. 7)] <span style="color:green;">[[S03 – Wistram Days (Pt.7)|(Chapter Summary)]]</span></ref>

On the day of the challenge, Qum and the others delivered their final words to Ceria, their only witness and helper. He bowed to her solemnly.<ref name="Pt. 7"/>

Qum and the others died to Cognita and the four other Golem guardians. Their bodies, not all entirely in one piece, were stored in [[Bag of Holding|Bags of Holding]] by a group of Golems that carried their remains. Their bodies were placed in a room dedicated to disassembling corpses. Before the Golems could begin processing their remains, Pisces reanimated the challengers' corpses. They rose as [[Liches]], more powerful than normal due to their proximity to death and their power in life. The Liches were nearly as powerful as [[Revenants]], as close as Pisces could have made them. He commanded the Liches to aid him when he fought his way into the [[Wistram Academy#Catacombs|catacombs]], pilfered [[Nekhret|Archmage Nekhret]]'s tomb, and set Nekhret's curse of shaded apparitions upon the academy. <ref name="Pt. 7"/>
