Bone Sign

Necromancers are not extremely common, even in theLand of the Death Lords. The creation of undead can often exceed the ability to command without assistance. As such many less able wizards, sorcerers and priests are given the ability to control undead on behalf of a necromancer. Without the ability of direct mental control the Cult of Odex has created a simple sign language that is usable by mummies, zombies and skeletons. With many of such not having fine digit control the vocabulary is fairly small and often uses whole body movements to convey information. This whole body/appendange movement also accomodates communication with undead birds and animals.

Vocabulary

Vocabulary is mostly restricted to simple argicultural, scouting, warfare and theiving concepts.
Among those four conceptual areas "words" are re-used with a different meaning per context. Because of this each phrase is prefixed with a contextual sign. Each phrase is also terminated with an ending sign. There is no concept of stringing togeather multiple clauses.

Tenses

There is no tense in this language, only time indicators for expected durations of actions all presuming from now.
