    Summary

    "There was not a person Emmrich had met who did not know the happiness being a husband and father brought him. He would bring up his wife and children to any who would hear it: friends, colleagues, students, strangers. Two wonderful, healthy, radiant daughters, as sweet and silly as their mother, as curious and polite as him, and his 'magic-flinging skeleton son', now as advanced as any other apprentice in the Necropolis. How he could have been so lucky was not knowledge he could grasp, but his happiness was total and all-encompassing."

    5 years after Veilguard, we follow an average day in the life of Emmrich Volkarin, necromancer, professor, Fade expert, and now a husband and father. From breakfast, to a shaving incident, to thunder, to some joyous news, Emmrich examines his life and good fortune. Part of the What Comes After zine event for The Fade discord server.

    Summary

    Emmrich Volkarin spirals into despair when he faces his biggest regret: choosing to save Manfred instead of pursuing Lichdom. When all else fails, he seeks the counsel of his old friend, Johanna Hezenkoss.

    -

    Emmrich remained in the bath for an unspecified period, basking in the silence, detaching from reality, tangling himself in possible timelines where he hadn’t forsaken Lichdom. In contrast allowing Manfred to rest—as it should’ve been, what was the natural order of things—remorseless at how often he’s brooded over his biggest mistake. He had been so close to his aspirations, moments away from grasping it, cradling it in his palms, from savouring the sweet taste of athanasia. All the years of work wasted by a mere lapse in judgement. How could he have been so pliant, bringing in a stranger to help him make such a momentous decision?
