The members of Fain's Fifth Circle Coterie gathered - [[Thax]], [[Raezon]], [[Gheasia]], [[Mugowumpois]], [[Mililiki]], [[Yomoigu]], and [[Oshterel]] - and brought with them a viscous elixir of emerald fire. They poured it down Orlachmar's throat and a terrible transformation followed. The Gods' skin turned grey, His body was regrown with larger muscles and thicker skin, His hair fell out, and His nails and lips turned black. His teeth were sharper and shaped like tusks, and His eyes glowed emerald green. He was, undoubtedly, the first being to become undead. | The members of Fain's Fifth Circle Coterie gathered - [[Thax]], [[Raezon]], [[Gheasia]], [[Mugowumpois]], [[Mililiki]], [[Yomoigu]], and [[Oshterel]] - and brought with them a viscous elixir of emerald fire.

quote=“'What are you doing?' asked Lantra the White. 'Orlachmar is dead,' said Fain, gazing intently at each of the Fifth Circle in turn. 'There is no time for more experiments or considerations. My friends, it is time to act, while our dear colleague rests on the table before us. We have a chance to bring him back, to turn the tide in this war. Let us try, at least, to see if your work holds any promise.'"| | |||

The Coterie had developed a way to draw power from the same source that the Soulless harnessed - the [[excoroperdito]] force rather than the [[immanidivinus]] force. Orlachmar was distant and brooding and over time became violent and unhinged. In His moments of lucidity He begged the Gods to end His suffering. | The Coterie had developed a way to draw power from the same source that the Soulless harnessed - the [[excoroperdito]] force rather than the [[immanidivinus]] force.
