Once, in ancient times, Necromancers have called upon the souls of the dead to tell them their future. They sought console from those who had passed on into whatever lies after life. Sometimes the soul is trapped, lost somewhere in between the land of the living and the realm of the dead. These are the souls that hear the summonings and respond. In this middle dimension, time is of no concern. They could pass through time as they pleased, forward and backward.
This method of raising and consoling the dead has been lost for centuries, ending when the druids of old passed on, taking the secret with them.
But now the Necromancers have found a new means of using the dead. Failed attempts at finding a new form of Animating, they have rediscovered the lost art of Necromancy. When they raised the dead, the dead became ravenous and feral, seeking out meat only on instinct. Some who found this practice 'evil', had left it in pursuit of redemption and another life. Others, however, have found this a useful means to get what they want.
To commit a crime so unspeakable damns the soul of the Necromancer and slowly turns them into a shade. When an Animator brings back the dead, they come back body and soul. When a Necromancer brings back the dead, they could only bring back one, the body or the soul. Unfortunetly, the Necromancers of this time have chosen to bring back the body, turning them to Ghouls.
