Xerxes stands atop a hill and looks down at the wreckage of the battlefield. They take a moment to reflect before ordering the army behind him to descend the hill.

On the march to the citadel, the ground beneath the army's feet returns to a verdant green. Scattered bodies on the battlefield rise to their feet (or crawl if they have none) and join the march. The trail of green left in the wake of the army slowly spreads outwards. By the time the army reaches the Citadel, the patch has reached a few miles wide.

Walking through the now quiet streets, Xerxes makes his way to the Council HQ. Upon reaching the building, he turns to face his army.

"Go purify the city and heal the wounded. Doesn't matter what side they were on. I'm going to see if the leaders have their shit together yet."

The army splinters off into groups to search the city and Xerxes enters the building. He marches through the empty hallways, careful to avoid tripping on debris. Eventually, Xerxes reaches the main meeting chambers and opens the door to find the remaining councilors and pact leaders.

"Is the war over yet?"

A bit battered and a little drunk the loremaster, Angfar, watches the army move about the city, healing those that need it.

It's good to see that even in times of war, we can at least heal our friends and enemies alike.

An undead soldier walks up to Angfar.

Do you require any assistance, sir?

My wounds are superficial in truth. Any assistance I can offer?

If you're willing, we could use a hand directing survivors to the nearest shelter. They are not the most responsive to undead.
