Incident at Necrom

An Illusion skill book: a team of adventurers takes on a haunted cemetery – with a twist.

Incident in Necrom by Jonquilla Bothe follows a group hired to cleanse the haunted cemetery outside the Dunmer city of Necrom so the Temple can build a monastery there. The story turns into a lesson in what Illusion magic can do – and who ends up with the gold.
