The Harvesters know that through their actions and devotion to the King of the Undead they will be rewarded at death by being granted undead status. The number and strength of the souls that a cleric takes directly reflect on his future undead status and dying while attempting to take a soul is said to grant automatic undeath. However, many clerics fear dying before harvesting enough souls and thus attaining only zombie status.Zombie: The Harvesters know that through their actions and devotion to the King of the Undead they will be rewarded at death by being granted undead status.

However, many clerics fear dying before harvesting enough souls and thus attaining only zombie status.The zombies are undead remains of the worshipers inside the temple at the time of the slaughter. Lich: ?Vampire: Harman has a great fear of undead and prefers to burn his victims entirely so that they cannot become mummies or vampires.Wight: Tethen also brought back a hacking cough that he attributes to dust from the ancient caves where he found his treasures. He is partially right. The dust did make him ill, but the illness has just begun. In a few months he will waste away and become a wight under the control of the undead emperor. Wraith: A tiny carrock overfull of elves heading toward the unknown continent to the east with their sole treasure foundered in a storm and sank. Thirteen wraiths haunt the boat’s wreck and keep both natural predators and treasure-seekers away. Ghoul: The ghouls are said to be former clergy of the temple, killed during the Mendarn invasion.Mummy: Harman has a great fear of undead and prefers to burn his victims entirely so that they cannot become mummies or vampires.Terrus Dyrn, Lich: ?Elven Vampire, Esmaran: ?Ghost: A tiny carrock overfull of elves heading toward the unknown continent to the east with their sole treasure foundered in a storm and sank. Thirteen wraiths haunt the boat’s wreck and keep both natural predators and treasure-seekers away. The band’s leader, Elborn, is now a ghost who does not combat intruders. The war with Eldor is a major concern to the elves, although they appear to have done nothing to end it. The issue over which the war began, the destruction of the logging camp, is true. The elves destroyed the camp and all within it. Despite warnings, the loggers cut down an ancient druidic grove, a shrine to the Old Oak that had stood for 3,000 years. The area would be perilous for player characters to investigate at this point. Besides being guarded by extremely vigilant and martial elves, the spirits of the loggers haunt the former grove as ghosts, prepared to destroy elf, human, and forest creature alike. Abyssal Ghoul: ?Uggurath: ?Mummy, Shimantra: ?Ghost, Puramal: One of the fallen bridges is the anchor for a ghost. Puramal was a soldier who fought on the bridge and continued to fight even while it was being destroyed. Enemy wizards sought to destroy him while friendly clerics and wizards healed him and countered enemy spells. Between the blasts of magic and volleys of arrows from the far bank, the soldier finally collapsed with the last of the bridge.Puramal’s ghost still guards the bridge he died to protect. If anyone tries to cross the river at that point, whether by swimming, watercraft, building another bridge or otherwise, he attacks (but travel up or down the river does not disturb him). Wailing Ghost, Banshee: Doulmak Grond achieved fame after he killed one of his elven slave girls and her spirit became a wailing ghost (known to most sages as a banshee).</blockquote>
