[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 7054707, member: 2209"] [b]Dragon 210[/b] Dragon 210 2e [b]Ekimmu:[/b] The Ekimmu was the departed spirit of a dead person unable to rest. The ekimmu themselves were once humans. The ekimmu died far from home and were not given proper burial rites. [b]Casurua:[/b] The casurua is an undead phenomenon that results from a group suffering traumatic death. It is most likely to form where a massacre has taken place, but could be found anywhere a group might suffer violent death, such as a battlefield or a burned-out building. It is possible for the actions of the player characters to result in a casurua forming (for example, a high-level fireball exploding in a packed room). A casurua is partly a ghost, hence its need for ectoplasm. But a casurua also is a kind of bizarre “recording.” The trauma of multiple violent deaths has imprinted itself upon the physical surroundings where the deaths occurred. A casurua could form any place where violent death is common. Battlefields are usually exempt because a soldier has adjusted to the thought of violent death. If treachery was added, however, a casurua could form on a battlefield. Otherwise, a casurua is most likely to be found on the sites of disasters (natural or otherwise). Ruins, especially places that were looted, are prime habitats for casurua. [b]Keres:[/b] ? [b]Charuntes:[/b] Charuntes were once the priests of some neutral evil death god, goddess, or major fiend. [b]Dark Lord:[/b] A dark lord is an extremely high level, chaotic evil NPC who was slain by a sphere of annihilation and has managed to return to the world as one of the undead. In essence, when the dark lord was killed, it was sucked into another dimension. [/QUOTE]
