Spirits are created from the souls of those who meet an untimely death. Whether this be by violent means or an unfortunate accident, the individual returns to unlife through sheer willpower or ritualistically against their will to continue their life's story where it otherwise would have ended.

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.

Wyrms are earth dragons. They are the largest and most muscular of the dragon species, with thick, bulky hides. Like nagas, pure-blooded wyrms have no wings. Those who do as a result of mixed lineage tend to be poor fliers due to their size, though all wyrms are accomplished burrowers, tunneling out dens for themselves in caves deep underground. Their scales are deep brown or black in coloration, and they breath sprays of acid or poisonous gas.
Drakes are fire dragons. They are large and muscular like their cousins the wyrms, but have broad wingspans like wyverns. Most scholars consider them the most versatile and deadly breed, able to combine swift movements and powerful attacks in equal measure. Drakes are likewise adaptable in their choice of den, though many prefer simple caves in mountainsides. Their scales tend to be colored in hues of red, orange, and yellow, and they breath gouts of flame.
