Undead

The Undead are an uncommon race in the Continent and the Archipelago.

The Awakened Dead
The Undead or Awakened Dead, are those who have died but haven't. They are almost exclusively humans, and come from all walks of life. Overall the Undead are distrusted, even by each other.

On the continent, most of the Undead live in ghettos in major cities in Baselia, but are usually killed on sight in Zhongao.

In the Archipelago however, they tend to be given more reprieve. Their lack of need for basics make them very useful on long voyages.

Creation
The process of creating the Awakened Dead is mostly unknown, and different individuals have different stories of how and why they didn't really die. It is known that the Liches of Khitar were well versed in the process, and large numbers of the Undead (especially in the Archipelago) are refugees from the destruction of Khitar.
