Death,

          The cessation of LIFE resulting from irreversible changes in cell metabolism.


Necromancy,

          The user's magical abilities revolve around manipulating the dead, death, the life-force and/or souls for good (i.e., resurrecting the dead), evil (in various ways) or simply neither.

          Users can also use communicate with the deceased – either by summoning their spirits as an apparition or raising them bodily – for the purpose of divination, imparting the means to foretell future events or discover hidden knowledge.


           We are made to believe that there's only one thing that most of the living human fears – death. Even those said to be the King of the King and the bravest of the man who fought with many wars in ages never feared death, yet it is inevitable conclusion when another man will be plucky enough to pierce the tip of his blade against this brave man's heart —or sometimes, if sharp enough, he is able to part the head from his broad shoulders, that would be much more of a quick death.

            Under the realm of the afterlife, none of us have proved what it was really like after you died, we are all aware how Jesus revived Lazarus from his tomb and the Lord said himself that he was only sleeping and he will rise again [John 11:38-44]. [1] Legend, myth and common belief reinforced a view of Hades as an immortal realm where pale shades of former living people existed in a dull shadow world. The most virtuous or fortunate were consigned to the pleasant meadows of the Elysian Fields. The worst, or unluckiest, characters ended up in Tartarus, the bottom ring of hell, a place of endless torment. Everyone else wandered in the gloomy Plains of Asphodel in a state of eternal ennui. As unappealing as Hades seemed, there was the fate of the dead who were unmourned or improperly buried was worse. They were cursed to wander without rest, no longer among the living but not permitted entry to the realm of death either.

            Beyond the knowledge of all the mortals, when a certain person died, there is only one gateway for him/her to unlock – Nigromantia, a gigantic gate guarding the 3 doors of Death behind it; Senescere, Odium, Legatum. The three divisions that conquer each and everyone that falls upon their dominance depending on the cause of their deaths.
