Editing Second Antinium War (section)

===<u>Undead Siege of Liscor</u>===
The Necromancer led his army past the Goblins. The two forces passed each other with little conflict. With the Humans interlocked with the Goblins, the undead were able to march upon Liscor, largely unimpeded, despite attacks from singular [[Gnoll]] tribes. The undead siege on Liscor, the primary connection between south and north Izril, effectively cut the Humans and Drakes off from assisting the other.

The defenders and citizens of Liscor lasted four weeks without aid. The Necromancer's besieging forces notably included Bone Giants, Carcass Walkers{{ref|The Antinium Wars Pt4}}, a high-level undead. Strategies used by the Necromancer included inflicting plagues, launching corpses over Liscor's walls, assailing the defenders with magical spells, and replenishing his undead army by spreading south of the [[Blood Fields]] or raising the corpses of Liscor.

Zel Shivertail removed himself from the Antinium conflicts and marched north to aid Liscor, the home of his deceased paramour, [General] [[Sserys]]. Three Drake [Generals] died in Liscor's defense. The city held the walls for three months, largely in part due to Zel Shivertail's defensive skills; consequently he was unable to focus an offensive attack to defeat the Necromancer, resulting in a stalemate. For the first few weeks, Drake High Command was unable to send aid, locked in combat on the Antinium warfront as they were, until the end of the Goblin-Antinium stranglehold.{{ref|The Antinium Wars Pt3}}

|quote=This was it. We didn’t have the strength to fight for another day and night without rest Selys. I was thinking of you, thinking of trying to get away with you when the lines fell, get you to Zel and away from the battle if I could. And that’s when we heard the horn calls in the distance. We turned, and saw them.

On the verge of Liscor breaking under the siege, Drake High Command sent a message by Courier to Zel Shivertail, informing him that irregular reinforcements were incoming. He was left confused by this message until the Antinium arrived and began attacking the undead. The Grand Queen had ordered Klbkch of the Centenium to lead the Antinium upon the Necromancer's armies and relieve the Drakes. Suddenly facing a two-frontal assault, the Necromancer's siege would end with his apparent death at the claws of Zel Shivertail. After the peace established between the Antinium and Drakes at the siege of Liscor, Drake High Command signed a peace treaty with the Grand Queen.{{ref|The Antinium Wars Pt5}}
