Intrigued by the forbidden and taboo art of necromancy, the Element of Magic, Twilight Sparkle, agrees to weekly lessons with her brother's archmage and close friend, Kel'Thuzad. Along the way, she learns a thing or two about Kel'Thuzad's past, and much more about the strange and foreign magic of Azeroth than she ever could've imagined.

Kel'Thuzad is many things. Necromancer. Teacher. Advisor. Former Raid Boss. Trusted friend and vizier to the Crystal Empire's Royal Couple. But in all his experience, he has never had the opportunity to attend court. In this small side-story to the Crystal Vizier, the Archlich finally gets his chance to show his... methods.

After being pulled from his nearly nine-hundred year stretch of hell in the dark abyss that is the Twisting Nether to serve the new Lich King, the Archlich Kel'Thuzad was faced with the dilemma of freedom from his bindings to the Scourge. He had been an advisor and (somewhat twisted) friend to the most evil being in Azeroth's history for nearly 15 years. He had butchered and enslaved thousands, spit in and stepped on nature's face with the necromantic horrors that were created aboard Naxxramas, and was a generally annoying raid boss, all while under the cruel tyranny of Azeroth's previous Lich King, Arthas Menethil...
But, when an Equestrian Lich King is appointed by Death himself in exchange for immortality, Kel'Thuzad is in for the surprise of his unlife when he is thrown into a large room, with two comparatively small, sentient equines, who claim to be the reigning Prince and Princess of a kingdom.
