Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
Necromancy, or the House of Death, is a House of Alchemy focused on the manipulation of death energy and the reanimation of deceased organic matter. Practitioners channel necrotic energy to raise corpses as undead servants, manipulate residual life force, and control the boundary between life and death. The art requires precise alchemical control—too much energy and corpses combust, too little and they collapse immediately. Despite its practical applications in labor, combat, and archaeological recovery, necromancy is widely stigmatized as macabre and disturbing.

In the world of Arruel, magic is called Alchemy and is governed by the Law of Equivalent Exchange: to gain something, something of equal value must be given up. Alchemy comes in two forms. Natural Alchemy is the raw alchemy that flows through the land, environment, and living things of Arruel, and it can only be wielded by Elemental Spirits and Dryads. When it pools in one place, it forms a Dungeon Heart. Mortals instead practice Alchemy through scientific "Houses of Alchemy," commonly named with a suffix ending in -mancy, e.g., the House of Fire being Pyromancy. Common Houses of Alchemy such as the four bases (Pyromancy (Fire), Terramancy (Terrain), Aquamancy (Water), Aeromancy (Air)) can all be learned by anyone with enough hard work and effort. However, while most Houses can be learned by everyone, some can only be used by those who were innately born with the ability, such as Luxomancy (House of Light). Other Houses can only be used by those under an Oath to a God or some other restriction, such as Aurumancy (House of Divinity), which can only be used by those who have sworn an oath to the Goddess Reis. There are six Houses deemed illegal by the High Council of Alchemy: the House of Dreams, House of Blood, House of Sex, House of Shadows, House of Mind, and House of Time.

The Spirit War was a decade-long conflict between the Mortal Realm and the Spirit Realm that began when rogue summoning alchemists accidentally tore a hole between the two realms in the north of the western continent. The spirits took the tear as a sign that mortals were preparing to invade and attacked preemptively, and one misunderstanding escalated into another. The invaders were mostly elemental spirits and did not fight as a single army. Some were cunning, but many of the weaker ones were non-sapient or semi-sapient and simply warped the land and caused destruction wherever they passed. The war ended sixty years ago when Summoning Alchemists stabilized the tear into the Spirit Portal, but the cost was immense. The Grand Empire of Canobie lost control over the north of the western continent, and the land around the portal became a scarred landscape of lava and volcanoes. The north remains sparsely populated, left as ruins where nomads and scavengers roam. Sometimes lower level semi/non-sapient elemental spirits still leak from the portal roaming the north of the western continent causing chaos.
