[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 2446454, member: 2205"] I agree--one of the first changes I made to my Eberron (not that it'll make any difference I don't think, but I made it anyway) was that the difference between Vol and the rest of the Undying Court wasn't nearly as much as the Aerenal elves like to pretend. Essentially all those "Undying" councilors and soldiers and whatnot are just liches or lich-like Undead after all. But I tend to darken things up in all kinds of little ways (I play up the more xenophonic and crusader-like aspect of the Church of the Silver Flame when the CS book specifically says its a small element of the Church, and the relationship between the quori and their kalashtar hosts might not be nearly as benevolent as everyone has been led to believe either) and it sounds like you're looking for the opposite (original poster.) I hadn't actually noticed that necromancy spells had changed in 3.5 to having the Evil descriptor, not having made a Necromancer in 3.5 ever, but I'd just house rule that that's not true. And I still recommend looking at the Hollowfaust if you can get your hands on it as a good example of a neutral or even good necromantic society and culture. [/QUOTE]
