Thanatolians

The living always disappoint. They get boring, they lose time eating or sleeping and the best and most prodigious of them will always someday die and the world will lose his or hers gifts. Well... not if he or she chooses to “undie” first.
The first Thanatolian was brilliant and very learned in the ways of death and also magic. Having chosen a life of seclusion from the outside world in a little village around the temple and village where life ran its course. There were friends, which were also very close and they lived happily.
But the living, as typical, eventually came with betrayal and the Thanatolian to be has lost everything, starting with the faith on the living, after having to bury all friends. This has aggravated the drive to learn, from a profound knowledge of the dead, to a grave obsession of mastering undeath. Towards never losing friends again.
True undeads. Without vices or compulsions. With full mental faculties and eternal bodies with shining eyes. Forever. The secret to thanatolian unique undeath is willingness. One of them, at least. The necromantic ritual that transforms and withers the body is costly but not as much as any living being futilely spends on food and comforts, trying not to die. The real cost is having the drive to ascend. To know who you are and face undeath to preserve it. To free oneself from mortal coils and distractions, pains and worries and hold on to what really matters.
The thanatolian success, that also manifested as the grandiose undead nation of Cadvre-Mordan, proves that no special might, arcane power or vassalage to macabre lords or ladies are require to achieve eternal “life”. True undeath is about freedom and becoming the best one can be, true living is about shedding one’s wasteful life in order to start growing. To be free from the cross of the living and the sword of a need for weird sustenance or decay suffered by other undeads.
