[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8171093, member: 93670"] I really like the presence of things like lore/ecology/etc making a comeback & getting pulled from other systems, but since we are talking about undead there is a niche I'd like to see mentioned here & there. That being [URL='http://keith-baker.com/dragonmark-the-blood-of-vol/']the way Blood of Vol sees it[/URL] in eberron. Eberron still has most of the usual undead tropes in one form or another & in some ways even leans harder into them by virtue of how they don't always get to enjoy the wishy washy not at all absolute morality because of their undead curse. Rising from the last warhas a great little [spoiler="newsblurb"][ATTACH type="full"]131238[/ATTACH] [/spoiler] showing that it's not always easy & keith talks about how for many of that faith it's just a way of giving the finger to the gods who they believe stole something (technically their divine spark) from them by having their body stick around to help those left behind after they die through some form of undeadification (usually zombie or skeleton but sometimes more). It's been mentioned in more than one source that communities of these people are known to have everyone donate some blood to a chalice or something to keep a vampire aligned with their community (ie a priest, guardian, etc) well fed.
