Awesome! Feeding on/off of ideas like yours...@Path<br /><br />Awesome! Feeding on/off of ideas like yours is the BEST part of blogging.<br /><br />I think you've just described the ancient, declined empire whose ruins the party is looting, er I mean exploring.Norman J.

A very pragmatic society whose living population lead comfortable and effortless lives, while the undead do the hard labor. A legal evil society similar to the Necromongers of the Chronicles of Riddick.Mysterionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06543112960662566856noreply@blogger.com
