	During the Sasened Mission, Liaka became close with the [[Paladin]]s assigned to guard him, and found great peace in the teachings they espoused. He formally converted to [[Cardinal Cleric\|Cardinalism]] before the end of the mission, and returned with them to Arindell. However, as he was still ethnically (and more importantly, biologically) a necromancer, Laika was subject to the same [[Imprisonment of the Necromancers\|imprisonment]] as his kin. His status as effectively the hero of all Nos Vorm gave him great status among the surviving necromancers in Arindell, but as he no longer believed in their ways he felt unhappy among them.

	Longing to be among other clerics, he petitioned to the [[Doseu]] and [[Pendragon]] [[Lal Soratami]] for permission to be sent instead to a normal prison, where he could live out his days. He was 19 at the time. It was a difficult time to be heard, as necromancers were trying everything they could to avoid the forced confinement in the temple at Arindell. While Laika's beliefs were genuine, he was just one of thousands who attempted conversion as a means of escape. The war had taken a horrible toll on the population of Necromancers throughout the known worlds, and even with all confirmed [[Grey Temple]] adherents being executed, and even many Green Temple adherents under trial for war crimes, it was difficult for the humble and quiet ~~Laika~~ to be heard.

	Ultimately, however, it was a simple fact that as a necromancer he could not be allowed ~~out~~ in the world. Necromancy was now widely regarded as evil, and as a male Liaka had the potential to easily create other necromancers in large numbers. Initially this was seen as a impasse, but Liaka ~~felt there was a simple solution.

His magical abilities, however, made him quite unable to be contained by any prison.		Ultimately, however, it was a simple fact that as a necromancer he could not be allowed in the world.

	The Doseu, who until then ~~had~~ had little knowledge of Liaka, finally took notice, and offered him a place at the [[Tabernacle of the Perennial Colonnade]] where he could study the ~~holly~~ book of Cardinalism. The Alliance government, upon seeing that he had permanent housing available, felt obliged to offer him imprisonment under house arrest. Since, as a powerful mage, he could not actually be held captive, this seemed like a reasonable compromise. Any prison he entered would be one of his own choosing, and at least here he could be under the watchful gaze of the [[First File]].

	Liaka entered the Tabernacle at the age of twenty, and died at the age of 82 having never again left ~~it's walls~~.

	Through sheer force of will, Liaka managed to transport himself from Nos Vorm to somewhere on [[The Inner Rim]]. Exactly where, he did not know for certain.

While the [[Grey Temple]] necromancers had retained this ability, it was only with the aid of [[Litch]]s.
