The Fourth Wave of Impact in the Time of Troubles was about to arrive.
Soren could feel the death aura growing ever denser in the Material Plane as war raged!
The appearance of the Winter Wight was only a sign. The powerful demigod liches and Undead Monarchs, the central figures of the Fourth Wave of Impact in the Time of Troubles, still remained hidden in the shadows. The Gods had ruled the Multiverse for countless years, and the weight of their authority over that immense span of time could not be dispelled by a single Time of Troubles. Deep down, these beings still feared the Gods, which was why they had yet to act rashly. Only when the death energy in the Material Plane reached a certain concentration, or when they believed the Gods had become sufficiently weak, would the demigod liches and Undead Monarchs step into the open.
That process still needed a little time!
There was also a crucial Calamity Ritual involved. They needed to awaken the sleeping undead and bring more death to the Material Plane.
This was an immense ritual that would alter the properties of the plane!
It would infuse the Material Plane with a trace of death's power and temporarily suppress the divine power of [Lord of the Dead]—Kelemvor, preventing all the dead from resting in eternal peace and ultimately reviving them as wandering undead.

The impact of the Undead Scourge had already begun to show, and even he felt a faint unease deep inside.
Because something momentous would happen during this period!
Something that would affect the entire Death Pantheon! [Lord of the Dead]—Kelemvor would suffer a coordinated surprise attack by demigod liches and Undead Monarchs!
Even Soren did not know
