 ===Resurrection=== ===Resurrection===
-//The exact effects for resurrection still need to be tweaked, but this is a pretty good guide of what should happen if a character dies in the wilds.// 
 Sometimes, when people or pets die in the wilds, they mysteriously return. However, their eyes have a strange glow, their skin changes color, and they often behave erratically. Whenever something dies in the wild, roll a d100. Because this roll represents a process that happens over the course of several hours, or possibly even days, it cannot be altered by methods such as luck. Depending on the exact roll, the character will experience a variety of effects. If the character's body is being carried around/protected by another character, then ignore all effects in which the body or soul is consumed, stolen, or possessed. Sometimes, when people or pets die in the wilds, they mysteriously return.

-  * 62-75: The character is resurrected and possessed by a demon. Their eyes glow red or yellow, and their skin grows redder and darker. Roll up the demon's stats. The demon will fight for control if the character attempts to exorcise them, acts in a "good" manner, or if it sees an opportunity for evil (contested will check). If the player visits a temple of any god and the exorcism is in line with the god's philosophy, they can receive an exorcism. (For instance, Taurusians would not care to exorcise the demon unless it related to his fields of information or secrecy, whilst Ra would do it unconditionally.) Some priests may also approach the character and offer an exorcism, whilst particularly righteous ones may even force an exorcism on the character. +  * 62-85: The character is resurrected as a mindless undead. 
-  * 76-90: The character is resurrected as an undead by the pollutant necromantic magic of Koth. However, in the process of resurrection, they go insane, losing 1d4 common sense. As the character rebuys ranks of the common sense they lost, they regain their sanity; reclaiming their old level of common sense renders them fully sane and in control of themselves. +  * 86-96: The character is resurrected as an undead by the pollutant necromantic magic of Koth.

-Grognak was born in the year 9407. Upon reaching maturity, he proceeded to go on a rampage across the continent for the next six months before being sealed away on Koth.

-Kar'thuul Ghutan was the man who catapuled the Ghutan family into a position of power. As an all-powerful necromancer, he was sealed away by the Ra'ites in a family tomb.

 +===The Legion===
 +The Legion was the first generation of Ghutan Deathknights; after several decades of servitude to their masters, they became self-aware and started to rebel, slaughtering anybody with destructive potential in the hopes of adding them to their ranks. They were locked in some kind of large reserve, lost to time. The Legion is a tier 4 threat, but could very quickly become more dangerous.
