Undead are beings denied rest in Hall of Echoes.

Background

[edit | edit source]

Either brought back through necromancy or by other means, undead are cursed beings who have to roam the world until they are destroyed or somehow released. Most of the time the less intelligent undead serve as expendable slaves to the necromancers who have created them. Due to their dark nature, the more intelligent and sociable undead have to conceal themselves among the living.


Physiology

[edit | edit source]

An undead's appearance depends on the state of the body and the magical power the being once had during its life as well as how it became undead: either naturally, by dealing in necromancy or alchemy or by being cursed.

The term 'undead' is a collective name for many different "species". The most common species are zombies, skeletons, ghouls and creatures. The first three are also mainly created by necromancers as they usually lack intelligence, but there are known exceptions among zombies and skeletons. The more rare and intelligent undead take the form of liches and vampires.
