Various forms of unlife, including vampires and ghosts.
General[]
Undead were beings where the soul remained on the mortal plane after death, instead of entering the reincarnation process. The term was most commonly used about vampires, but there were also ghosts and possibly other forms of undead. Katerina Sorrow was undead, but of an otherwise unknown or unique type.[1]
Undead could be also be consciously created by binding the soul during a ritual murder or equivalent.[2] It is possible that the gargoyle automata were crafted in a similar process.
Necromancers were Practitioners who had the study of the undead as one of their specialties. The term seems to be most commonly associated with the hermetic Practice, but study of the undead might have appeared in other Practices as well.[3][4]
What appears to be a zombie was however a dead body animated by a ghul, and it was a relatively modern phenomenon.[5]
