Is this paragraph worded and structured in the best way?

FYI- Szass Tam is the lich, the Council is the mage-lords. Shortly after the end of the battle, the Council of Zulkirs met in Bezantur to discuss their disastrous defeat and their inability to overcome the dream vestige. Since they had lost the greater part of their military strength and Szass Tam now led a massive army of undead, the mage-lords realized that they could not defeat the lich. The zulkirs decided that unless they discovered a way to change the situation, they would use the fleet under their command to flee into exile and abandon mainland Thay. Nevron then ordered one of his demonic minions to kill Zola Sethrakt, the weak representative of the small number of necromancers who supported the Council, since he detested her for having constantly claimed to be his equal as a zulkir.
