Subject: Aspiring Necromancers...

Ahoy guildmates, here is some information I overheard in a tavern recently during my travels. There are rumors of a strange new land that has a dark magic called necromancy, the sort of magic we've only seen a few times in the past here in Sosaria.

First of all, the spirit speak skill is very important to this art. All this time, it's only been used by a few eccentric mediums to talk to ghosts, but for these necromancers, it allows them to actually channel "spiritual energy" from the corpses of their foes, an energy which they use to heal with. And is is of note that, right now, spirit speak is a skill that is relatively easy to Grandmaster, but knowing the powers that lurk behind the scenes of our world, it may become much harder once the way to this new land is opened up for all. So those who wish to train in spirit speak should do so soon, I think.

In addition, necormancers are said to be equipped with a new sort of spellbook and an array of about 16 vile spells of their dark art. The drunkard I talked to said his cousin heard of spells that summon clouds of poison, enchant weapons with the ability to drain life, and turn the necromancer into other forms ranging from a wraith to a lich! And there is of course, the ability to use the magic to animate corpses.

Another odd thing he said about necromancers is that they can use their spells AND wield weapons at the same time. It is unknown what sort of weapons they use nor what weapon skill is required.

Fascinating stuff, eh? I tell you all, I believe at least some of this man's ramblings. An ill wind is blowing through the land, I've felt it out at sea. Once again, our normally stable multi-faceted land is about to undergo sudden and violent change.

OOC - Yes, I'm making a necromancer character. I just want to have one character class/skill that receives developer attention! My fisher, pirate, and boat-miner have been seriously beaten on in the past by the devs, after all. Oh, and I've gotten my spirit speak to almost 80 in just a few hours of work.
