The fork gets a few odd looks but no comments. 

Lan Wangji is to be found in the library. 

He quietly gets his attention and asks in gesture if he'd like to go.

"Yes." 

They can go, then, and Raafi'll follow him to wherever he'd like to be for the spellcasting. "I only have one casting of Eagle's today, but if you turn out to need more than that, I can do it tomorrow, don't worry about fitting it all in now." And he casts, and offers the spell.

"This feels very odd." 

Deep breath. 

"Wei Wuxian was a member of the Yunmeng Jiang sect. During the conflict with the Wen sect, he developed an unorthodox new way of doing magic, which involved harnessing resentful energies and commanding the undead. This caused some entirely understandable concern, but everyone was so concerned about the Wen sect that for the most part it was simply accepted as long as it consistently won battles. After he had won the war for them, people began to become more uneasy about it, but public opinion didn't turn entirely against him until he decided to protect surviving Wen-aligned civilians from being killed slowly." 

"That sounds admirable, on his part. Though risky, if necromancy is morally corruptive here - it is in my world."

"I do not know. The circumstances surrounding Jin Zixuan's death remain opaque to me. But I do know that Jiang Yanli's death is not on his hands as many claim; she died on a sword aimed at Wei Wuxian after throwing herself between them, not at his hand. But even if he was some amount corrupted by the end, he was still a better person than the hypocrites who cried out for his blood." 

"He sounds it. And if it is - that is something my magic can do something about, if he's well enough to want me to."

"He will be better than if we did not resurrect Jiang Yanli first, I am certain."

"Mmhmm. I'll see if I can catch your brother later to make sure we're still planning on doing that tomorrow - does he know about what happened?"

"The facts of the matter are public knowledge. Most would frame them differently."

He nods. "I'd like someone involved with planning her resurrection who knows the situation and won't be surprised when she starts telling people they're wrong, is why I ask - I wouldn't know if it would be better to wait and talk to some people about it first, or something."

"Brother would not be surprised. I do not know if Jin Guangyao would be surprised but I would not be surprised if he wasn't." 

"All right. Is there anything else I should know about Wei Wuxian?"

"I don't know what would be relevant to you."

"And I don't know enough about the political situation to know what to ask. I do think he deserves to come back in a situation where he won't be demonized, if we can manage it - are there any other misconceptions about him?"

"Numerous. The rumors bear little correlation to reality."

"Unfortunate. Does he have any other allies? Alive, or ones I might resurrect?"

"Wen Ning, one of the survivors--for a time--and the only known example of sapient undead. Wen Qing, one of the survivors and his sister. The rest of the survivors are less specifically notable to the public but they ceased to survive shortly after Wei Wuxian did. Jiang Fengmian could conceivably be helpful, but might also be politically complicated; a Sect Leader has never come back from the dead before."

"If it'd be obvious quickly enough whether he'd be likely to help, I can cast a divination to check, but my best one looks a week into the future. How hard will it be to get the others' remains, do you know?"

"Wen Ning and Wen Qing were burned to prevent Wei Wuxian from bringing them back; they predeceased him."

"All right. I can work from ashes if we can get them, but I'm not sure that's a good idea anyway. We'll have to see how the first few resurrections go."

"Is there anything else you want me to know? About him, or anything else?"

"Do not trust Jin Guangshan."

"Who is that? I'm not very good with names."
