Bokor

Slums and poor neighborhoods where disease and death are a part of everyday life are places where the darkness can assert itself. The same goes for battlefields and mass graves. The darkness will manifest itself as undead life in a cadaver. The purpose of the reanimated cadavers – actually that of the bokor’s – is to multiply by killing other humans, who in turn will wake up as bokor. During the riots and fighting in the Conglomerate, many preachers claimed to have seen the dead rise again as bokor. The Hegemony responded and said that this was only propaganda spread by Yjala, the Slum Queen.

The term Bokor refers both to the reanimated dead themselves, and to rumored mystics with the power to create the reanimated dead.
