Undead - General
The Undead consist of all the living dead that roam the lands. The first of the Undead were raised by a horrible plague that swept across the First Races, killing many. Three days later, their corpses would rise as Undead soulless beings. There were many in the Golden Age, however the original Undead have dwindled in numbers greatly, with only a few throughout the land. The majority of Undead found are mindless slaves to Necromancers and Evil Sorcerers. They range from zombie, to Flesh Golem, to the rare, but deadly Wraiths.
No matter their origin, all Undead have one thing in common. A hatred for the living and the desire to snuff it out. Vampires hunger for the blood of the living, Zombies hunger for the flesh, and Wraiths hunger for the very souls of life. Some remember their past lives, most do not. Most don’t even think. In fact, the rarest and deadliest of all is the Undead that has a brain. Most commonly Liches and Vampires.
The Undead have no religion and no nationality. They are found everywhere and nowhere. Typically, they hate sunlight, Vampires in particular, and love dark, damp places, such as caves and swamps. All Undead fear, above all else, a Priest. In particular, a Priest in the service of Vau’Cheth. Their greatest enemy is the Great Sun Deity, and they rightfully fear him. The Undead are usually local terrors, and towns may offer great rewards for banishing these dreadful beasts... But never forget, the only way to truly rid yourself of these monstrosities is by fire and fire alone.
