WSG#23[F]: Necromancy of Hammerfell

Well I could be wrong, but I believe the brain actually makes the zombies sort of capable of independant thinking. Opposed to skeletons who can't since obviously they have no brain.

I can't provide any books or other pieces of lore to back this up, but I did alot of research in the past for my book "The Profane manual" and I remember something like that, it could even be from prepartion of the corpse.

I don't think that anyone, no matter how many revenants he summoned, would fancy a swig of zombie brain, but that's just me and my belief in society...

My feeling about zombies is this: They are strong quick fix undead helpers from relatively undamaged bodies that are easy to raise up from the dead, but do not last very long. If there are not so many good bodies around, a Necromancer has to prepare the bodies he does have more carefully.
If the brain has to stay intact, the funnel can be used to apply some kind of fixative fluid.

Unless of course the Necromancer wants to add a romantic touch, by having a zombie that ceases to say 'Fresh brains!' after approximately three weeks, the rotten brain mucus streaming over its shoulders and in puddles on that expensive Dunmer carpet.

In all zombie-logic, it's plausible for the undead to lose it's head... Just as long as it keeps it's brainstem and whatever's left of it's medulla oblongata or any good portion of spine. I may be wrong, but it's the last part of the nervous system to rot. That can come in handy for a self-information firing locomotion.

I really love the ideas that people are coming up with in this WSG. very cool work, indeed, guys

oh, and expect something from me sometime tonight.. I've been a bit too busy, as of late

Just so that I don't leave this sitting around and forget about it here is a better version of my concept I had done earlier in the thread. I didn't have time to completly colour it in, but still I did do some of it.

Interesting. Somehow (s)he strikes me as mournful.

Heres a crappy placeholder, I am a bit cross with how stiff it looks, but I haven't got near finishing any of the limbs yet

I'm liking it so far, the torso looks very promising!

BTW, we ever going to have another one of these WSG things?

Agreed! Scumbago, I think your are more than entitled to do this if you see it before Lute

Anything to keep the CA willing people on their toes.

We should probably do another one on Necromancy, except a little more specific.
I'm playing Neverwinter Nights again, and it seems to cater to the Necromantically needy, for whom it is not a first offense, a lot better than Ob and MW do. Here is a quote:

The phylactery...like a jewel in how it glistens, like a corpse in how it feels.

Well, I wouldn't mind a change in between 2 Halloween necromancy things, perhaps a 'Baddies and Villains of Hammerfell' could be fun. Or anything. I just got sick of my zombie i was making instantly.

P.S Thanks Nalin

O Godliness. Yoku.. godliness. Yokutity of Gods. Gods, Yoku, godliness. Yoku. Yoku and most reverant God. Gods, Yoku, Yoku and Gods.

lb003g0676 · Post by **lb003g0676** » Fri Oct 27, 2006 10:29 pm

Well, I have an idea Sload might want a 'Yoku Gods' WSG. Just an inkling.

Anyone elses ideas?

Harke the Apostle · Post by **Harke the Apostle** » Sat Oct 28, 2006 1:50 am

Witches & Yoku gods...

lb003g0676 · Post by **lb003g0676** » Sat Oct 28, 2006 2:26 am

Thats still a lot and far between.

I am thinking 'Yoku Gods, and their Eerie Avatars'

Which can include their worshippers and all the different ways they can appear.

Post by **Gnomey** » Sat Oct 28, 2006 3:11 pm

Well, artists are already covering the gods themselves, of course, but if an atmospheric of Yoku temples, or something similar, were to be next I can see at least two submissions from me, as I have a lot of ideas on the subject. As for the Necromancers, etc. I have little idea of them. So personally, I'm all for a Yoku worship WSG.

lb003g0676 · Post by **lb003g0676** » Mon Oct 30, 2006 8:30 pm

Well it seems to be a popular subject, but can anyone fetch us a new one? Any mods. The CA forums is starting to go decidedly dead.
