NECROPSY
 
Everyone has their hobby.  As a youth, you can remember poking the dead
bird you found with a stick, fixated on the concept of dead things.  You
matured, but so did your pre-occupation with the lifeless.  Prodding sticks
turned to laboratory equipment as your thirst for knowledge of death
changed to an obsession.  You have searched for years for thick dusty tomes
and ancient molded manuscripts, and your labor has rewarded you well.
you know many things that none else do, and soon...  Soon the means to
escape death shall be yours.
 
It would seem that every path of magic possesses its own sages, and the
path of Death is no exception.  Those who wield its terrible powers
do so for many reasons.  Perhaps they seek a way to cheat death.  To become
undying.  Or maybe they just have grown too weary of mortal companionship
and seek to raise the dead and make their own friend.  Whatever the
reasons, there is no doubting that their work has paid off, and knowledge
truly is power.
