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. | The undead forever move with purpose and are often driven by that which could not be completed in life.

=== | ===Undead in Society=== | ||
While the undead are rare in the wider world, societal views on undead vary widely from culture to culture and spread the gambit of outright hostility to ritualistic honor. Some societies treat undead like they do their family elders, and others actively hunt them down out of fear or prejudice. In general though, the undead are respected for their direct knowledge of the past and their unwavering nature. | While the undead are rare in the wider world, societal views on undead vary widely from culture to culture and spread the gambit of outright hostility to ritualistic honor.
