Races of the Dead

High Wights

Wights are an odd duck amongst the undead, often not created by necromancers specifically, but instead rising of their own volition when the conditions are right. Wights are by no means individual souls, but often part of a gestalt; when a particular land has seen enough bloodshed - battlefields, forest, crypts and graveyards - wights can be seen to rise en masse, a near-physical representation of the battles and turmoil the land has faced. Sadly, it is for this reason that necromancers often facilitate the creation of wights regardless, for no other study or profession causes so much blood or death.

Those who have had encounters with wights often describe them as indistinct skeletal figures, wrapped in flowing cloaks that become faded and incorporeal at their edges, while strange lights dance where their eyes should remain. Survivors tell of a peculiar sense of exhaustion when in close proximity to them, as though merely being close to these figments of death causes one's life force to sputter and fade. Regardless of this and their ghostly appearance however, it has been recorded that steel and strength of arms is yet enough to destroy them, or at least to erase them for the time being.

Due to their close connection with Eyal, unlike other undead, High Wights may not begin play as Defilers.

Death Knights

A custom race add-on for TE4, meant to offer users a different playstyle and a different take on the main story.

Description

Perhaps you were mortal once - long, long ago. But that time has passed out of all reckoning. Your service to a higher power was devoted and faithful, and when the veil of mortality parted for you, you were returned from the other side. Powerful and implacable, you traveled the seas of reality at the behest of your patron - She who granted you Eternity. Worlds burned in your wake. However, due to an unforeseen conjunction - or perhaps due to taking the favor of your mistress for granted - you have been stranded in this strange world, stripped of most of your might.

As undead, Death Knights have access to a wide range of immunities:

• Poison immunity
• Bleeding immunity
• Fear immunity
• No need to breathe

The spirit of the death knight has been summoned using the medium of a local corpse, but fundamentally, Death Knights do not belong in Eyal. Their very natures clash with the fabric of reality, making it hard for anything to affect them and making it hard for them to act upon other things.

Note: Undead are unnatural creatures and may not use infusions or be any Wilder classes. They do not gain the Harmony talent tree from eating the Heart of the Sandworm Queen, but they may consume a corrupted heart to gain the Vile Life talent tree.
