While Wester remained unable to learn whether Medivh had survived, Medivh strengthened Kurd City and expanded its farms, workshops, and defenses. As the rainy season began and Murlocs roamed Odyssey, Kurd City continued building and repelled those that approached.

• Wester learned that the intermediary organization had hired a few scouts to search for Medivh, but he saw little hope of finding him and could not afford a larger search.

Medivh advanced to a Tier 1 Low-level Mage after resurrecting an Orc Skeleton Prophet, then tested the Prophet’s curse abilities and continued excavating and resurrecting Transcendental Skeletons. A powerful Spring of Time from his first Orc Skeleton Berserker restored his spent mental power and mana and increased his maximum mental power, so he kept working.

As the Spirit Cat Tribe developed its magical institutions and supplied ancient battlefield bones, Medivh continued forging Skeletons and reached the intermediate level as a Necromancer.

• Lingxi invited Medivh to a special reception, where he learned she had arranged it because she believed human lords claimed their subjects' brides' first time.
