My fellow travelers. Before our guide asks us to move on from this...ah, relatively peaceful place, I have been wondering about your experiences with undead. What we saw in Serthica was not like the undead that I know of from my home world. Mayhap this is to be expected, when we are so far from the familiar...but I am curious if such an observation holds true for you as well.
So...do you have undead where you are from? What are they like? How did they come to be?
On Etheirys, most undead are classified as โashkinโ. There are some created by necromancers โ that is, illegally created, of course โ but others occur naturally. Festering humours, or lingering memories and unresolved feelings...anything that prevents the creature from returning to the Lifestream upon death.
...so - that is my understanding of undead. Will you tell me yours?

[A little rueful.] But it sounds like a more peaceful world, at least in that sense. Most ashkin are both unhappy and unpleasant.

[Sorry, he's never heard of that.]
Well, we have our own problems, they just happen to concern mostly living people. Besides, some things from my world appear fantastical to others when they are just normal for me.
