Dark Arts of Necromancy
Written by, Greetings Aisling, I am Ramanayan, and I have always had an interest in the Dark
Arts of Necromancy. While looking through the library at Loures
I found nothing on the subject in any field (History, Lore, ect).
So I have put together this scroll for information regarding
necromancy. It includes Necromancy History, How to become one,
Monsters, Items, and sketches ((screenshots)). I hope you find
this useful. Ramanayan
Sections 1. History Part 1: History Necromancy is the art of summoning the undead do to ones bidding. It may be help in hunting, entertainment, or other sinister purposes. A Wizard living in Tagor many doechs ago, during the Danaan dating times first discovered necromancy. This wizard was very fearful of dying and spent his life trying to cheat death. After many years of work he found a way. He became a lich. The transformation twisted his mind. He believed that the living were always dying but the undead lived forever. So he began killing the people of Tagor and turning them into undead monsters. After turning people into undead he sent them out to kill more people. It seemed no one could stop him. Then one day a strange bearded man entered Tagor from the Northern Woodlands. Carrying no weapons at all he entered the lich's/wizards home, the House Macabre. Within a double moon all the undead had stopped entering Tagor. The bearded man, although sick, had been able to contain the Lich/Wizard's powers to his home, the House Macabre. Sometimes some monsters would escape but they were very weak and caused no trouble. It seemed that Necromancy had been stopped. Also Tagor and the House Macabre become isolated from the rest of the world. Many years later in Doech 12, Fall directed by King Bruce of Loures urged aislings with 80 or more insights to destroy the evil that lurked in the House Macabre, that had just been opened to the rest of the world. It was also at that time that a strange book was re-discovered possibly written by the Wizard/Lich after discovering the dark powers. Part of it reads: In the depth something dark had been brewing for centuries. [further in the book] One of the Six. One of the Six. The wisest and most powerful,
no? He has the empire of below. After the House Macarbre was open soon even more places were discovered. The Chthonic Remains were discovered hidden beneath the wizard/lich's study. It contained some 30 levels (until levels 31-56 were discovered in Doech 16) and horrors beyond mention. The place became the primary hunting grounds for aisling's 50-Master insights and still is to this day. 5 Doechs later in Doech 17 Summer Necromancy, long thought extinct, became known to the world as the mundane necromancer created a home behind the walls of the Sgath Pit. For you younger readers the Sgath Pit is where aislings convicted of murder and such are fed to and killed by a creature known as the Shadow Hunger. A perfect place for a Necromancer to set up near. As aislings attempted to enter his home only wizard were able to. The Mundane Necromancer introduced himself as Gigean. He said he would teach Necromancy to wizards… As Necromancy was being taught and learned in Doech 19, Summer the Druids appeared in a section of the Eastern Woodlands. They accused the Necromancers of being evil and dark. They said to many were losing their health to the mastery of the dead (explained later) and the balance was tipping away from the light. The Druids have done some things science, such as open the Chaos Realms, and helped out explaining the current Light and Dark war. However they say Necromancy is evil and never really do anything about it. For the most recent things of Necromancy read the future section. Part 2: How to become a Necromancer So you wish to walk the dark path of Necromancy? It is not a easy path but the rewards can be great - Gigean, Mundane Necromancer Becoming a Necromancer has several requirements. To start go visit Gigean. To get to his home go to the sgath pit and walk along the east most wall. You should appear in his home now. He will explain the path and such. The minimum requirements for becoming a Necromancer are: You must be insight 25 or higher and have 25 intelligence and 15 wisdom. Also you must not worship any gods except Fiosachd, Ceannladir, or Sgrios. Summoning the undead is not exactly popular with most gods. If you meet these requirements you must go to the House Macarbre and kill a zombie and bring Gigean its flesh. You must kill a zombie yourself you can have assistance but you must give the final blow. You also must present its flesh, however the flesh need not be fresh. After that speak to him about learning Spion Torrah. After speaking a bit Gigean will teach you the spell. You need no items, money, ect. Also your legend will get a new mark, "Walks the path of Necromancy since (date)". Now you are a Necromancer. Read on to learn to use your powers. Part 3: Summoning Those who teach the dark arts of Necromancy hoped to go unnoticed. But too many creatures have been summoned and aislings are losing their health to the mastery of the dead - Druid After becoming a Necromancer and learning the spell Spion Torrah
you are a full-fledged Necromancer! Now for those who don't know
fae yet Spion means, Summon. Torrah means Undead. So Spion Torrah
means Summon Undead. To use Spion Torrah you must have one of
the five necromancer items. They are the Ghast Skull, Gargoyle
Skull, Gog's Maw, Gargoyle Fiend Skull, and Gremlin's Ear. Each
item has a insight to use they are as follows- After getting an item your insight can use go to an area where spells can be case. Drop the item under you. Cast Spion Torrah. The item is destroyed and a monster appears! You can use this monster like any other summons. Part 4: Item's and Monsters Items Finding the items for Necromancy might prove a bit hard. This should help here- Item Name Item Name Ok lets admit it these items are not found lying around. If you want to get them they are not exactly easy to get. The monsters that drop these items do so rarely, some more then others. The most common are the Ghast Skulls and the Gargoyle Skull. The Gog's Maw and Gremlin Ears are hard to find. The Gargoyle Fiend skull is the hardest to find. Also buying one on the market will cost you a hideous amount of money. Ghast Skulls normally go for 250k - 500k coins, Gargoyle Skulls 300k - 500k, Gog's Maws 200k - 1000k, Gargoyle Fiend Skull 5 million - 20 million and Gremlin's Ears up 4 million. Do not let money scare you! If you find one of these items do not sell it! The results from these items are far worth more then money. But if you cannot find them nor afford them you can make fakes. Visit the Soumi Dark Wizard and say Necromancy or Necromancer. To make skulls you will need a variety of items including, branches, kobold skulls, spider's legs, and zombies flesh. I know what you're thinking, I'll just use fakes it's easier. Well fakes are not exactly stable. Each fake has a 50% fail rate in witch the item will be destroyed. Also there is a 2% change you will lose a stat when using a fake. You might also have an idea what to do with your summons. Some younger Necromancers, insights 25-40, will sometimes have their summons help them hunt. Even for elder Necromancers sometimes when a horde of monsters is chasing you or your group summoning a monster to distract those chasing you can help. Necromancy summoning can be fun also (I doubt Gigean would approve). It might be entertaining to summon where a large group of people are gathering and have the monster follow you around. There are other necromancer monsters that live in Temuriar. The Green Skeleton is the most common. This monster looks like most necromancer skeletons but is green. This monster is friendly and will not attack you unless you attack it. It is very weak also, but has excellent Magic Resistance (most necromancy monsters do). They can be seen appearing Loures, Rucesion, and rarely Mileth for unknown reasons. Also the Dark Champion and his Disciples have been given the spell Spion Skel (Summon Skeleton). This spell will summon a green skeleton. Tagor also has skeleton's living nearby. They look like the green skeleton but are called Tagor Skeletons. They can be found in the lost Souls pass. Be warned they are aggressive and attack in numbers. They are not that powerful but can cause trouble for you if you are surrounded. Becoming a Tagor citizen involves killing 5 of these skeletons. Also all of these skeletons have never been seen casting any kind of magic so do not worry. However the other Necromancer creatures are not that weak. The 3 other Necromancer monsters are found in the Chaos realm. Craidhneach- This Necromancer Skeleton is first found on Chaos 3. It looks much like the Skeletons seen in Necromancer summons. Clogad Craidhneach- This is the armored version of the Craidhneach. It is first found on Chaos 4. Also for those seeking to make Light Belts this monster drops Talos Ore (that’s just a rumor now). Sgraidht- Does the Sgraidht look just like Gigean? Most likely he is one of this race. These monsters are not to be taken lightly. Nothing has even been known to be able to kill this. The Sgraidht can move while Suained, ao dall itself, and cast the water dragon spell. The spell does moderate damage to everyone in the area. Also if someone is skulled when it is cast that person will die instantly. He is first found on Chaos 7. Aog Ridir- This greatly resembles the Death Knights. It is currently known as the deepest and most powerful monster in the chaos realm. The Aog Ridir is found only on Chaos 12. 5. The Future… In Doech 21, Spring Tagor opened to the rest of the world. The Druids babbled about coming Darkness because of this. Several seasons later Gigean began to talk about a new spell for Necromancers called "Pian". He said because the birthplace of necromancy had been open again the hatred and evil was once again growing. Gigean said that the this new spell Pian would be able to cause direct harm to someone. It will be weak at first but will grow in strength as the darkness grows. Currently he still has yet to teach it. Also the Light vs Night battles have begun. The Night Champion and his disciples have gotten the spell Spion Skel as said before. The Light people have gotten a spell to banish them (that is like a waste as any light person could kill it in one hit). Also in Tagor the undead hordes are once again on the rise. They have yet to enter the village but can be found in the Lost Souls pass outside the village. Also the local Alchemist won't talk to anyone. He says "I don't have time for someone as in-experienced as you, I have to find a way to stop this evil!". 6. Reference Why won't this Flesh Golem Eye work! I had to pay good money to get this! - Ramanayan after seeing Flesh Golem Eyes are not part of Necromancy Necromancy Quick Reference Chart
