Well, a long time in this thread anyway. Maybe not elsewhere.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Indeed.

@Caldizar

Did you want us to chill until there's a reason for interaction?

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Yes. I have a bit of a plot going at the moment that I want to take Helain through.

EDIT: Not like completely stop posting, just don't interact quite yet.

Alright, had to use quote tags to help make that mess of a format easier to read.

My posts make me cringe.

My plot point on necromancers, and why they are hunted.

-The world was almost taken over by a necromancer once before. A powerful mage by the name of Osvin who lead an army of corpses overseen by thirteen dread generals, or death knights as they would come to be known. Beings who fed off of sorrow and grief, each being emotionally broken in their own ways to create their own loops, but unlike the main character here were completely subservient to Osvin's will. He was eventually defeated, however, though it took the combined efforts of the entire world to accomplish. This near loss on the part of humanity is the main reason why necromancers are as feared and hunted as they are.

-Death knights, following full conversion, possess supernatural durability, speed, strength, and agility, being able to punch through reinforced stone walls with ease, dodge volleys of arrows like they were nothing, and tank direct shots from a catapult. Furthermore, thanks to their unique existence, the stores of sorrow an grief they've built up within themselves via ambient leeching can be felt and seen by mortal beings as an aura of blue flame, which often invokes feelings of fear and hopelessness in their hearts. Additionally death knights, like most undead, can survive crossing bodies of water, see in the dark, and sense living beings that might be nearby. Also their mere presence in an area can raise the dead, recent or otherwise.

-Despite their status as immortal killing machines, death knights are far from invincible. They are, like most undead, extremely susceptible to holy or blessed weaponry, unable to cross into consecrated ground, unable to enter areas protected by strong rituals of warding unless said ritual is undone, and, last but not least, easily banished by an experienced practitioner. Of course Osvin managed to circumvent this last tactic via the use of defensive counterspells, but knowledge of the ones he used specifically has been lost to time.
