Black is the color of endurance, legacy, and grim necessity. It is the cold reality of death, the weight of tradition, and the unyielding will to survive against all odds. Its core philosophy is one of stoicism and consequence, accepting the harsh truths of existence and finding power in them. It is the color of the necromancer, the stoic survivor, and the noble who bears the heavy burden of history, all thriving in the slow, patient decay of reality.

Skelebones: lvl 1 Animation

Necronim: lvl 2 NPC

Keywords: Survivor, Stoic, Ageless, Bless, Curse, Piercing

A people who have an unnatural quality: once they reach maturity, they no longer age. Not as dark or dreary as their name suggests, they are a people who are defined by the legacy and tradition of generations before them that lasted centuries at a time. A society where death is only granted by actions, not by time itself, is built on making sure the ethics and responsibility of tradition are upheld to keep life stable.

Zombie: lvl 1 Animation

A servant raised in death at the behest of its master. A hard-to-dispatch adversary whose only flaw is that the flesh is weaker the second time around.

Keywords: Survivor, Stoic, Ageless, Bless, Curse, Piercing, Flux, Siphon, Animate

The nezumi is a large rodent that commands an army of not just animated corpses but the very environment, which dances at the call of the timeless scavenger. Up close, it is a ruthless and relentless attacker whose strikes hit at your very core and fuel the beast even further. Its unwavering focus is fueled by everything at its disposal, even its own essence.

Snap Gator: lvl 2 NPC

Keywords: Survivor, Stoic, Ageless, Bless, Snap, Condense

A patient and cautious hunter that in a moment's notice will snatch its prey and pull it into the depths below. So careful and unwavering that it is often mistaken for driftwood or rocks in the shallows, much to its advantage.

Fire Fly: lvl 2 NPC

Keywords: Survivor, Stoic, Ageless, Bless, Area, Ranged

A solitary scavenger with a long lifespan and a unique palette. It consumes only ashes and dust, which seems harmless until it is discovered that it will set whole buildings or fields ablaze to eat its fill.
