| + | UNDYING | ||
| + | The undying are undead creatures sustained by positive | ||
| + | energy or the devotion of mortal ' | ||
| + | negative emotions can trap a spirit as a ghost or wraith, | ||
| + | the undying are spirits who linger because they are | ||
| + | cherished and who in turn seek to protect and guide the | ||
| + | people of their community. | ||
| + | Though it's possible for undying to appear anywhere, | ||
| + | it is rare for them to manifest naturally. The only place | ||
| + | where they are found in significant numbers is the island | ||
| + | of Aerenal, a land whose close ties to the plane of | ||
| + | Irian suffuse it with positive energy. The elves of Aerenal | ||
| + | spent thousands of years working to develop rituals | ||
| + | that tap into this energy, allowing them to preserve their | ||
| + | greatest citizens as undying. | ||
| + | The Face of Death. The light of Irian sustains the | ||
| + | spirit, but it doesn' | ||
| + | undying appear as desiccated corpses, their flesh withering | ||
| + | away over centuries. At the same time, the spirit of | ||
| + | the undying surrounds the body-an aura of light forming | ||
| + | a spectral shadow of the soul. The light shed by an | ||
| + | undying doesn' | ||
| + | warmth and comfort. | ||
| + | The most powerful of the undying can separate their | ||
| + | spirits from their physical forms, existing as beings of | ||
| + | pure light. This state is the ultimate goal of the elves | ||
| + | of Aerenal, and such beings are known as ascendant | ||
| + | councilors. | ||
| + | Bound by Love and Light. Undying are sustained by | ||
| + | positive energy, whether found in manifest zones tied | ||
| + | to Irian-such as in Shae Mordai, the Aereni City of the | ||
| + | Dead-or freely given by the devotion of mortal beings. | ||
| + | The worship of the Undying Court is what sustains the | ||
| + | undying of Aerenal, but devotion is a finite resource. As | ||
| + | such, each elf that becomes an undying must earn their | ||
| + | afterlife. If an undying elf leaves Aerenal, they require a | ||
| + | community of elves or another source of positive energy | ||
| + | to sustain them. Failing this, their light fades and they | ||
| + | eventually die. | ||
| + | The Undying Court. The honored undead of Aerenal | ||
| + | are united in the Undying Court. Based in the city of | ||
| + | Shae Mordai, the members of the Undying Court spend | ||
| + | their time meditating, engaging in research, or continuing | ||
| + | to perfect the arts they practiced in life. They serve | ||
| + | as guides and advisors to the living, and members of the | ||
| + | noble lines of Aerenal can exercise the rite of counsel to | ||
| + | consult with ancestors in Shae Mordai. | ||
| + | The greatest members of the Undying Court are the | ||
| + | ascendant councilors. These beings of pure light are | ||
| + | focused on contemplating the mysteries of life and the | ||
| + | planes, and can work together to wield godlike power | ||
| + | that allows them to shield Aerenal from almost any | ||
| + | threat. However, the ascendant councilors can exercise | ||
| + | power beyond Aerenal only by acting through devoted | ||
| + | mortals-paladins and clerics of the Undying Court. | ||
| + | Undead Nature. An undying doesn' | ||
| + | drink, or sleep. | ||

| + | UNDYING C OUNCILOR | ||
| + | Undying councilors guide and protect the people o f Aerenal. | ||
| + | They are the most powerful members of the Undying | ||
| + | Court who still maintain their physical forms. While | ||
| + | many undying councilors spend their days advising the | ||
| + | living, some devote years projecting their consciousness | ||
| + | into the Astral Plane, seeking new knowledge to share | ||
| + | with their people. Still, not all minds are capable of | ||
| + | assimilating immortality, | ||
| + | buckle under the strain and go mad. | ||
| + | UNDYING SOLDIER | ||
| + | Undying soldiers make u p the army o f Aerenal' | ||
| + | the Dead. They guard the temples of the Undying Court | ||
| + | and the mansions of the noble lines of Aerenal, and | ||
| + | Aereni ambassadors are often accompanied by undead | ||
| + | bodyguards. Undying soldiers wear heirloom armor and | ||
| + | wield ornate weaponry. | ||
