#2: Initial revision
1) Does the story have to be from the POV of the necromancer? Or at the least, does the end have to be? You can show all the necromancer's challenges from the POV of the people of the nation, and its leaders, as they try to defend themselves, and in the epilogue or the denouement, someone (could be a survivor, could be a third party) points out that the necromancer was right after all. Or the leaders of the nation realize that they themselves have been a threat to peace, but they didn't intend to be, and they back down, or allow themselves to be sacrificed. I just read this setup in a C.E. Murphy novel. 2) Read or see _Watchmen._ Decide if that structure is worth adapting. (I won't spoil it for those who haven't read/seen it.)
