Dread Necromancer

There is death in your soul. While sorcerers possess innate arcane powers, dread necromancers are cursed with the antithesis of life and joy. Where this link comes from is unknown, being anything from a fiendish ancestor to an affiliation with death due to generations of your ancestors all residing in hell. Sometimes its simply a random, yet hellish fluke. Even the best of people may find themselves with this power, but resist it and fight it, the outcome usually amounting to death by the pent up energies. More neutrals however use the soul scarring energies as a matter of survival and necessity, for otherwise lays the path of sure death. Evil necromancers however are the most common, good or neutral originally in most cases, but the powers they wield eventually perverting their souls.

The ways of the Dread Necromancer are uncommon amongst all peoples, though humans are most known to be possessed by this power. This is often thought to be caused by the uncountable amount of deaths in their ancestry during the beginning years of frost.

Evil gloi are also known to take interest in this path.
