[QUOTE="LuYangShih, post: 816433, member: 10414"] I really like most of the theories so far. I think I prefer to keep the Undead and Demons seperate, however, so I will discard the Demonic Parasite theory. I would like to keep Undead as unique as possible, instead of another type of fiend. I am unsure as to whether or not I should keep the raising/animation of Undead an evil act. Should it be evil, or should it be moral free? Is creating an Undead a wicked act? Why would the animation of a creatures corpse torment the soul of the creature that once possessed it? And would such truths explain why burial is so important to most cultures in a fantasy world? I also wonder what type of Undead are the true Lords Of Death. Vampires, or Liches? Vampires have great strength and powers, but they also have severe weaknesses. Liches would clearly be much rarer, but would generally be more powerful as well. If a nation existed where the Undead were the ruling force, would the heads of state be Vampires, or Liches? And what would the role of the other type of Undead be once one or the other had achieved dominance? Anyway, just a few questions. :) [/QUOTE]
