Undead Lore Re-released

[MonMarty]

Undead lore has been "undead" for quite a while. It was once a playable race on MassiveCraft, but later transitioned into an affliction of sorts that could be applied to any race. There had been numerous calls to re-integrate Undead into lore as something playable, but because we were having issues working out the specifics in the middle of Magic reworks and the Mutator release, this was put off a lot. Due to recent movements by players however, it was moved up in the priority listing, and now has been re-released, to make sure the information is available for the players who want to use it here and now.

Subject:

What changed:

• There are now four types of undead, Mortis Daël, Mortis Käl, Mortis Kul, Mortis Javalis and Mortis Sul.
• Mortis Daël and Käl are mostly Altalar based in preparation of the Altalar update.
• Mortis Sul are the old "wandering sad undead" with a more final twist.
• Mortis Kul are much of the same "evil" undead like the Mortis Kal were in the past.
• Mortis Javalis are a new more "morally grey" undead who retain their own personality and behavior.

Needless to say, plenty of reading material. We've tried to make Undeadism as morally ambiguous as possible, while also creating venues for Undead creatures to not just be hated by literally everyone, but to have specific people which they can roleplay with. Undead are fairly easy to spot, but are certainly not shambling corpses so there is some room for subterfuge and deceit. Any character can become an undead and you don't need a character permission or application to play one.

Amendment to Undead Conversion Rules: https://wiki.massivecraft.com/Undeadism#OOC_Regulations_to_Undeadism

This is to avoid players reviving characters who clearly died in recent times and could not possibly be revived to have a murder boner on their killer.
