Frequently asked questions

Does it cover liches and wraiths?

Yes — note the kind of undead (lich, wraith, revenant, zombie lord) and the tone follows, from noble decay to feral rot.

Can the name hint at who they were in life?

Describe their past and the etymology often reflects the title or deed they held before death.
