Skeleton
Skeletons are the simplest product of necromancy, raised without elaborate rituals – just magic binding bones into a crude frame capable of basic movement and obedience.
Undead	6	4	1	1-3	40
Melee	0	-5 to 5	3	4	Upgrade 10

Skeleton Archer
Skeletal archers are rather uncommon among necromancers. However, vampires especially value them as castle guards. After all, it is always easier to repel the would-be assailers from afar.
Undead	6	4	2	1-3	50
Ranged	0	-5 to 5	3	4	Upgrade N/A

Skeleton Warrior
With little care, skeletons can retain memories of their lives as soldiers or fighters; stripped of personality but still skilled.
Undead	6	6	3	2-3	100
Melee	0	-5 to 5	3	6	Upgrade N/A

Wight
A person once deeply cherished, forced back to life against their will. Wights, dissolving and lost, claw at each others’ memories in desperation, hoping to recover or steal their names and identities.

Undead	9	2	0	2-4	85
Flying/Melee	0	-5 to 5	3	6	Upgrade 25

Phantasm
Souls severed from their bodies succumb to entropy, flickering and fading as they desperately cling to dragons of identity while oblivion slowly consumes them.

Flying/Melee	0	-5 to 5	4	7	Upgrade N/A

Wraith
Sometimes a soul is brought back with enough clarity to grasp its eternal entrapment in the living world. This harrowing realization of rage and despair gives rise to a wraith.

Undead Pets
Some necromancers reanimate elves and humans. Others choose companions truly dear to them, like loyal hounds. Dogs feel no torment in undeath – is there a greater fate than to remain by their master’s side for eternity?

Undead	14	4	6	3-5	120
Melee	0	-5 to 5	5	5	Upgrade 40

Barghest

Graverobber
Graverobbers trail necromancers, assisting in acquiring skeletons and bodies for reanimation by any means; whether by exhuming the dead or creating new ones. This constant exposure to deathly energies leaves them almost indistinguishable from the dead.

Undead	30	13	9	7-9	250
Long Reach	0	-5 to 5	3	2	Upgrade 90

Kennelmaster
Vampires can be quite eccentric. Their refusal to accept the flow of time leads to hiring resurrectionists. These kennelmasters ensure their employers always have a steady pack of dogs to hunt and play with.

Lich
A self-risen undead bound to the materium through a phylactery and a rite prepared before death. Liches seek immortality and power in the living world. On Jadame, they also delve into time-turning magic. Necromancy is not the only way to persist in the world, after all.

Undead	50	12	12	11-16	340
Ranged	0	-5 to 5	2	4	Upgrade 140

Pestilent Lich
Miasma is another form of eternal life; constantly shifting and changing, yet enduring. It’s no coincidence that deadly poisons and miraculous cures are often the same substance, administered in different amounts. Perhaps life and death are not opposites but foils of one card.
Area Strike: Deals damage to the target and all hexes around it. Death’s Embrace: Triggers all effects applied on the target, instantly using their full remaining duration. These effects are then removed. Ability tier 4. Costs 1 Focus Charge.
Undead	50	17	12	16	480
Ranged	0	-5 to 5	3	5	Upgrade N/A

Sanguine Lich
Necromancers are the finest healers, for the force of life is simply the power of death rewound. Yet there must be an agenda behind their studies of time. Could it be that everything we know about the liches of the past and everything we know about them is merely the deception of the present? Time will tell.
Unlife, Undeath: Restores 20% damage dealt as HP to all friendly units. Does not revive. Knowledge of Death: Increases the amount of XP gained by 10%. Does not stack. Restores 30 HP per lich to a friendly unit. Revives fallen units. Ability tier 4. Costs 2 Focus Charge.
Undead	85	12	17	11-16	480
Ranged	0	-5 to 5	3	11	Upgrade N/A

Hollow Reaper
As carnage mounts, certain knights grow even more powerful; each soul cleaved from their enemies and added onto their scythes. They inspire such terror that common folk liken them to death itself.

Vampire
The origin of vampires remains a mystery to most. Powerful and vain, they see themselves as the pinnacle of creation. The draconic society of Garrote Gorge, however, dismisses such lofty notions.

Undead	150	25	22	25	1200 1
Melee/Flyer	0	-5 to 5	5	11	Upgrade 800 1

Vampire Lord
Vampires tend to thrive in aristocratic circles rather than among commoners. It seems only logical – eternal life surrounded by opulence is far more spectacular. The decadence of nobles fuels their midnight ascension into darkness.

Undead	175	25	29	30	2000 2
