Necromancy

Necromancers are those that can animate and control undead creatures as well as create darkness. Necromancers are known to be extremely ambitious, intelligent, and proud. Because of its more gruesome and gray nature, it’s common in society to distrust necromancers and look down on their art as a whole. Their school focuses mostly on the concept of death and darkness, from reanimating the dead to reversing effects of healing. Their source of power is Grim, a skeletal wendigo, the keeper of all things rotting and dead, who hungrily wanders its grove, searching for the recently deceased. Their staves are made with Rotsilver and studded with jet.

Their home World is called The Wasteland, an empty, dry deserted plane that lives up to its name. There are bogs and marshes scattered about, but most of it is dead, open fields.

Realm
The realm of death, where Necromancers channel magic from, is something that nobody can seem to agree on. Some say its a twisted maze of rot and plague while others insist its nothing more then an empty plane filled with corpses. Nobody knows for sure what is truly there.

Staves
Necromancy staves are made out of a special silver called Rotsilver, which is found only in The Wasteland. Touching the metal is unpleasant, as it almost feels like it should be squishy, like touching rot, but it's solid. Once forged, however, it feels like normal silver. It's normally an unpleasant grayish green color, with darker and lighter variations, but it can occasionally be dark gray tinted slightly green or even the color of bone. Each necromancy staff is studded with at least one jet stone.
