Could androids be called 'undead'? If so, 1) Dzur Mountain is Dragaera's version of Skynet. 2) 'Sethra' is an android into which Skynet occasionally downloads parts of its memory bank into for easier interfacing with Gods and Dragaerans, and 'Iceflame' (part of Dzur Mountain to hand) is actually a modem to allow Skynet to download/reference more data into the android if needed, and therefore: 3) "The Final Contract" will be the story of Vlad fighting the Jenoine's Terminator.
