Legions of Undeath
About
Those who are not living but do not dwell in the realms of death are collectively members of the Legions of undeath. Some return on their own with Arawn’s blessing, others have escaped the realms of death. Some refused to accept death and remained in the world of the living. Finally, some were brought here, summoned by gods or mortals powerful enough to do it.
Zombies, and Ghouls are not typically sentient, and crave the flesh of the living, bound to serve whatever master who rose them from the grave. Skeletons on the other hand are quite often sentient and animated by powerful beyond-mortal magics to serve a purpose. Any number of catastrophes could cause these would-be minions to rise of their own accord and seek out the flesh mindlessly.
Most intermediate necromancers are aware of how to animate the dead, and do it quite often.
Strengths and Weaknesses
Almost all undead are susceptible to anti-undead spells such as Turn Undead, Destroy Undead, Sunburst, and Ray of truth; to top it off many, although not all, are susceptible to blessed and silver weapons.
Locations
The undead are not exclusive to any one area and can be found all across the world.
