Named for one of the seven heavens, the serathine are the guardians of the honored dead and gatekeepers of paradise. They typically appear as immaculately beautiful, winged humanoids wearing shining or glowing apparel. Most are not typically dangerous unless a traveler attempts to violate the sacred place or soul they have been charged to protect.
Werebeasts, such as werewolves and werebears, are ordinary folk who have succumbed to an ancient curse after being bitten by another werebeast.
Lightbringers are Paladins in service to the dogma of Istensia, led by one of the White Mantles of the order - Cassandra du Soleil.
They aim to wipe out necromancy and the undead. The motives of each individual may differ - some may do this out of pity for those risen in undeath, while others may vehemently despise these creatures and only wish to slay them to eradicate them from Orn. Whichever the case, they command the light of the Prime to slay their enemies and heal their allies.
NPC
Cassandra du Soleil, white mantel, leader of the Lightbringers, and most importantly - First of Istensia.
The remains of a powerful and ancient dragon, this undead is one of the rarest and most feared in all of orn. Dragons rarely die of old age but some very old dragons seek immortality through magic and kill their mortal form in order to remain living in a more durable body. To kill a dracolich you must destroy it's body and it's phylactery. Even then several have devoted their existence to a patron immortal who may revive them.
Mummies are advanced undead created by carefully preserving corpses through a series of rituals originally intended as a means of immortality for the ancient pharoahs of Sirison. They are most commonly encountered in their tombs by would-be grave robbers who rarely live to tell the tale.
Zombies are simple undead created by reanimating fresh corpses. Most sport grotesque wounds, sallow skin, and the pungent odor of decay. Their slow reflexes and dim intelligence make them little threat individually, a disadvantage necromancers usually offset through sheer numbers.
Skeletons are simple undead created by animating the fleshless bones of various creatures.
