[COLOR="Red"]Tired of being that lonely necromancer?.. Tired of being so divided as necromancers that it seems nothing immense can be accomplished?.. Seeking a safe heaven to practice necromancy and spread undeath?.. Join the conclave of bones...[/COLOR]

The concept idea is generally a group of necromancers who aspire to recruit more warriors, rogues, and other people with promises of power to slowly build a society revolving around undeath and necromantic advancements. Rather than just practicing necromancy, they look to the future of necromancy, and what heights they can aspire too. The necromancers will utilize joint skills to create legions of undead to defend their home, collect necromantic artifacts to increase their power, and try to eventually expand the boneyard and its architecture to create a safe heaven for their practice.. Highly inspired by Porenius Herasius they also seek all knowledge on him possible.

Alignments?: CE, NE, and LE, CN -could- work but likely would fall to evil over time

Classes? Fighter, Barbarian, Wizard, Sorcerer, Bard, Rogue. Monk if played right

A society can't survive depending on magic alone, though dominated by necromancy.. Warriors and the like have their place as gaurdians or in some cases.. If they truly desire it.. Experiments...

All kinds of necromantic concepts work with this, a great chance to get some experience with the sorcerer necromantic perks, new and old. You could even work Hematologist into this if you wanted as you "study the magics hidden within the blood.. Maybe corrupting it even".

Optional Add-On Concept: Former Noble Or Citizen Of City Of Bones: A former necromancer from the highly chaotic but organized hierachy of the city of undeath, or a former gaurdian or warrior who dwelled in the dark city of black arts. Nobles tend to be very fanatically devoted to their art and building a society for their art (like my character Lothii) and citizens tend to be less fanatical about the art itself and more aimed towards learning or maintaining the society.

The city of bones was a hierachy of undead and mortal necromancer nobles who served a "Archlord" a immensely powerful necromancer who held the most prestige and power. Ascension amongst nobility was granted by higher ranking officials, and no one has ever taken the archlords place. A magocracy at its darkest but best, the citizens or non-necromancer undead or mortals tended to the cities needs and ran simple businesses. Citizen necromancers (those that chose not to participate in politics) often ran shops for necromantic material or one dark end or another.

The ultimate goal of the necromancers is to form a semblance and small version of the former glory of the city of bones, to return a magocracy and create a place in which to spearhead the advances of necromancy.. They aren't hostile towards visitors, and even want their haven open to all.. As long as they come in peace.. Otherwise destruction is to be swift.. And of course.. More visitors means more material.. New bloods..

This is good for alt characters or those interested in exploring necromancy. Over time may demand more time but for a while this concept Is intended as a side-interest.
