Editing Continuity/Undead (section)

== Conclusion ==
The Dericost/Blood Magic explanation was a retcon of the previous story, and is considered accurate. Attempts were even made at explaining some of the out of place undead. In her letter, Aerfalle wrote to Rytheran, "You know as well as I the reanimated make poorer servants than the converted."<ref name=AerfallesLetter>2000/07 [[To Raise a Banner of Flame]] - [[Aerfalle's Letter]]</ref> While this was in reference to Yalaini who had died in a volcanic eruption, the principle behind it helps explain the various Isparians who were said to have fallen and been ressurected by liches. The letter went on to explain how some undead (called firstborn in the text) had sworn to serve the Hopeslayer, "for no greater reason than that the Servant was raised near Daralet."<ref name=AerfallesLetter/> and went on to site the [[Sylsfear Dungeon]] (called Old [[Fauzuil]]'s retreat in the text) as an example of undead and shadow in the same location.

Still - there are some cases where the early back story is the only reasonable explanation, such as the with the Undead Isparians of the Mount Lethe Magma Tubes, or those in the Dungeon Mei. And more recent content has introduced more possible ways for a creature to become undead, such as with the undead Rushck of the Dark Isle who appear to be the result of Grael's magic, or the undead of the Ancient Graveyard who were cursed with the magic from the Book of Eibhil.
