 Challenges are rare, for to sit upon a Throne is to bear the weight of Arandor’s legacy — and the eyes of the Valar themselves.

	Her words echo through the chambers of Elven law, serving as a reminder that knowledge, even of grim and unsettling arts, is not itself evil. It is the purpose to which that knowledge is bent—and the discipline of those who wield it—that determines its place in Elven society. In summary, necromancy in Arandor is not illegal—but it is not welcome without cause, scrutiny, and the highest sanction. Those who would tread that path must be prepared to walk it under watchful eyes, with no room for misstep.
