Necromancy is a dark practice given to mortal Pyrians by the Goddess of Death, Belit-Sherri. While Dark, the act itself is not malevolent, but has been twisted and tainted by the malevolent over time since its gifting.

Now, whether or not you even wish to engage in Necromancy, and whether to go about it in benevolence or malevolence, is your choice, and yours alone.

This guide for Pyria will teach you about Necromancy in Pyria, its structures, and its summons. For starters, all undead regenerate 25 HP per second just by existing, so long as they are not starving. They also take 2.5x on average to Light mana/element attacks. All Undead, regardless of type, are immune to fear, courage, bleeding, mind control, and venom. Undead also ONLY eat raw and spoiled meats, they do not care for kibbles. There are three main types of Undead in Pyria:


Zombies (and "Flesh Beasts") are units that specialize in HP regeneration. They utilize multiple tactics to stack multiple HP regeneration buffs atop one another in an attempt to outlast their opponent. Lower-tier ones are often horde based, disposable, and intended to be sent in large waves. Regardless of tier, they have a significant weakness to Fire on top of their weakness to Light Mana, with certain abilities either deactivating when set on fire, or even increasing their fire weakness as a trade-off. Their attack damage, durability, and speed vary wildly depending on form, making the class versatile.

Skeletons are the main tanks and damage dealers of Undeads. They often boast the highest HP values, the highest natural resistances, and the highest base damage. They are a slow-to-mid speed type, instead often focusing on dealing or taking damage. On top of natural resistance, Skeletons are also immune to fire often, instead trading that fire weakness for a weakness to crushing and shattering blows (Dunkle, magmasaur, tamed giga) and explosions.

Spirits (Ghosts) are the third type of Undead and are the most tactical. They often have more specialized or support-based roles, often having low HP but high damage output, or having piercing effects, debuffs, etc. They are the fastest type of Undead on average. They are also exceedingly resistant to physical attacks and projectiles, taking only 10% of damage from them. Elemental attacks of any kind are the only way to deal full damage to them.

A species of Rock Drake that evolved when Rock Drakes were first introduced to the Pyrian Arks. Those that lived in wyvern-heavy environments: specifically, the volcanic region, faced heavy competition with other draconids, unlike their relatives in the redwoods. In their fight for survival, these individuals somehow managed to unlock powerful affinity for the mysterious Dragon Element. The species slowly developed darker colors due to this, and thanks to this adaptation and their primary region, were named Ash Plume Rock Drakes. Ash Plumes are resistant to many forms of elemental damage, but exceedingly weak to Light Mana, Dark Mana, and Dragon energies. While not as "easy" to use as the powerful Stygian Drachenthorne due to the wyvern's flight, Ash Plumes are superior to standardized Rock Drakes in every way. They are able to remain invisible longer, deal more damage, and can glide for longer. Most crucially is their powerful Dragon element slashes, which let them deal great DPS on other draconic entities. It's due to this adaptation they became wyvern hunters, raiding wyvern nests for younglings and eggs alike.
