This new elixir, though it extended her life indefinitely, also cursed the woman for all eternity. Years later, Neferata of Lahmia would attempt to replicate the elixir with the help of W'soran, creating a corrupted version of it.
He then allowed Arkhan, his trusted vizier, and his other principal lieutenants to imbibe the elixir, granting them immortality and incredible strength but, unable to recreate the potion themselves, they became little more than slaves to Nagash's sinister will. With it, Nagash finally unlocked the secret of eternal youth.
One of Nagash's chief successes was the creation of the cursed Elixir of Life, distilled from the blood of Humans.
