Undead: Difference between revisions

There are many ways to pass through the veil of death, but few to pass back. For time immemorial, intelligent mortals have sought ways to break the bonds of life for themselves or others. Whether by dark ritual, unrestricted science, or sheer power of will, these beings continue to exist on the fringes of the living world. The undead forever move with purpose and are often driven by that which could not be completed in life. Whether it be revenge, love, or works left unfinished, this goal shapes every action they make until it is completed and a new goal is discovered. Undead make unwavering companions and are often sought out for their knowledge of lore, history, or crafting. Though ghosts and spirits are classified as ‘undead’, the willpower needed to maintain a purely nonphysical form often requires that they remain bound to haunted structures or areas of land and so undead adventurers carry on with what remains of their original bodies.  

'''Lifespan:''' Undead tend to live as long as their physical form can sustain them, some for centuries or longer
