Undead Ghouls are found across Pannithor, wherever the dead are interred. They gather in catacombs beneath the many-storied deeps of Basilea; they haunt the ruins of Primovantor, and the graveyards of Sathoi. Across the Successor Kingdoms, they can be found in the dead of night, digging at barrows like dogs in search of corpses.
About
In some lands, particularly the tribal lands of the north, ghouls are so prevalent that burying the dead has become unthinkable. Instead, the deceased are burned on great pyres so that none can feast upon their flesh.
Wherever the dark energy of necromancy settles and congeals, all around becomes corrupted. It is the necromancers’ human servants who were first to be changed beyond all recognition. Slowly, these humble men and women lost all semblance of self. Their hair fell out in clumps, their minds became addled.
They developed an unnatural craving for the flesh of the dead, until nothing else could satisfy their hunger. Cursed for this vile appetite, their transformation was complete. Future generations born from these wretches were disfigured, deformed and bestial. They carried the same curse as their sires, and eventually became the creatures known as ghouls.
Universally reviled and hunted, fleeing persecution, some animal instinct drives them to seek each other out and they form loose ‘clans’, ranging from small isolated groups of little more than a dozen individuals, all the way up to mighty cave-dwelling hordes numbering in their thousands.
Ghouls are not strictly walking dead, like skeletons or zombies, but rather deranged cannibals and eaters of the dead. They slowly lose their minds to the horror of their lives, degenerating into savage creatures that are half-human, half-undead. Some ghoul packs have existed for generations, descended from desperate survivors who ate their brethren’s flesh to survive past cataclysms.
Ghouls can in two different forms, ones created from Necromancy and human followers of the Abyss called Abyssal Ghouls
