Death.
Throughout every era, people have been captivated by it. Men, women and children. Scholars, philosophers, mages, craftsmen, servants and kings. From the most humble dwelling to the greatest civilizations, death has always been present, always waiting just beyond comprehension. For some, there exists only fear and dread, as is often the case with the unknown. Others hold curiosity, spending their time with theories and possibilities while seeking to unravel the truth through misguided logic. Religions often make use of death to serve their own cause and increase their wealth. No matter the purpose or intention, this mystery remains steadfast and unaffected.
There are a few, however, who seek it out, searching for power beyond that which can be bestowed through life. Herein lies the great irony: that those with the spark of life turn against the living and seek the ways of the dead. Often times, those who follow this course fail to comprehend the full breadth of the nature of life and death, and the connection thereof. In their ignorance, they turn to the power of souls, and to unnatural manipulation of spirit and body. They become the dark harbingers, shifting the balance between living and dead.
To these, the world brands with the title of Necromancer.
They know not how close their ignorance has brought them to the forgotten truth.
