Were the undead always here existing in the world and only now gathered in large numbers to become noticeable or did they just show up out of no where. It's also said that anyone who dies usually comes back as one of the undead, is there some special ritual or crude method to ensure the body doesn't become an undead? Lastly, are the bodies becoming undead on their own or is someone bringing them back?"
Mother Sabria: 'Thank you for inquiring, I will assume you are a young sheltered child as this is crucial information you should already know.
but the truth can never be heard often enough.
It is with endless regret that I admit that these abominable creation have plagued this world for an eternity.
it was Absolon; Demon lord of Despair who brought death to our world,
not a day had passed before his brother Churzegar; Demon Lord of hungers exploited this curse.
The fiend offered mortals freedom from death and freedom from the judgement of the gods that it brought.
cowards, traitors and every sinner imaginable flocked to this promise and damned themselves everyone.
every demons deal has an unthinkable price, one inflicted upon the innocent and guilty alike.
the guilty suffer as slaves to the demon's hunger, the innocents murdered so that ever more can be offered this curse.
however, all is not lost. The depraved servants of Churzegar would have you believe every corpse will serve him.
This is a lie.
There are four methods to assure the dead will not rise.
the first and most important is that the demon lords are bound to the hellish realms, they have no power but what mortals give them.
mortal souls can only hear the demon lord's offer if a particularly corrupt servant offers a connection through fell magic
the the second, only those who fear death, only those who fear judgement will accept his vile offer.
a pure soul, who knows the gods will accept them will never become such a monster.
the third is through divine power of the gods, which only the most devote servants can wield. such power can bring judgement to a soul even in the mortal realm.
the forth is more complicated, but I recommend it for those you doubt the innocence of, which honestly should be everyone.
and more importantly the already risen.
it is a complicated method, which I will only cover the basic concepts of here.
we strip the bones of weak flesh with holy acids, and bleach the bones with the purifying rays of the sun
then entomb the bones in a vessel that cannot rot, stone will suffice if you can do no better.
you're local church will be able to provide you with further details, and texts on the topic.
Stay loyal to the true gods, and always strive for virtue.'
