[edit] Description

Necromancers are wizards with a very strong focus on the manipulation of dark magic, death and decay. Many if not all necromancers are capable of animating the dead to do their bidding, these undead thralls can take many forms including, skeletons, zombies, spirits and ghosts. The manipulation of the body is much easier than that of the spirit so most necromancers primarily concentrate on the manipulation of corpses and skeletons. Necromancers often employ these servants in battle using their undead legions to great effect while unleashing various curses and dark spells upon their foes. Lesser necromancers however must concentrate on controlling their undead servants and cannot do very much while controlling them.

In Hollow Necromancers mainly dwell in the dark lands especially in the city of Vailkrin sometimes called the city of the unquiet dead sue to the fact so many necromancers and their acolytes perform animations there. Necromancers often follow the dark ascendi known as Vakarash as he is known as the lord of death. Necromancers are often used in large dark enemies to bolster forces with an initial wave of undead followed by the unspeakable practice of raising their foes forces as reinforcements for their own army. Necromancers draw their power from the shadowy, dark and evil places and weave it to their own will in stark contrast to priests of the light who draw their power from the holy light and use it to fulfil the edicts of the powerful gods of good and light. Necromancers in Hollow are almost exclusively of the evil alignment but it is not known for neutral or good necromancers who tend to specialise in returning lost souls to the afterlife and making sure the fallen are given proper funeral rites in their role as priests of the dead
