My first world in the new version has the following three artifacts by year 90--all but the first, the work of a Dwarven necromancer:
The first is a bauxite tablet entitled Mirstaltosid "The Velvety Armor":
A few decades later, the world's necromancer writes "The Velvety Armors Exposed":
The last book is about a random elf.
I have to find the exposed one, clearly it was meant to popularize and glamorize necromancy. That dwarf must getting tired of zombie friends.
Edit: in an interesting turn of events, the elf turns out to have been the druid of his civilizations, who got struck down by a three-eyed fiend, and...reanimated by the dwarven necromancer. And here I thought he was an elf-lover.
