The History Behind the Law

Necromancy desecrated the region of Tioshun for years. It took over like a plague in every corner to the point where that became the primary magic used throughout the land. Quickly cities became overran with demonic creatures spawning from the Hellish depths. Loved ones brought back in rushed desperation turned into twisted grotesque monsters destroying towns and cities. Leaders from The Temple of Cord, Illyara, Regatha, Iversteed, Littletown, Muraganda, White Bridge, and Rath gathered together and created the first continental law in history to ban Necromancy entirely.
