The hunters

Many years after the siege of Karak Bitafjall undead began reapearing in the world. The Twilight Hunters were formed to decimate the undead, preventing such a tragedy from happening again.


In the 262nd year the undead began reapearing. At first noone had wanted to believe it, but the Diarch of Branos quickly responded. They formed the Twilight Hunters to hunt down the undead and stop a horde such as the one Onyxia had commanded would ever threaten Adatia again.   The Twilight Hunters were extremely effective, and by the turn of the century the undead had been effectively wiped out. Only occasionally single beasts would emerge, the Twilight Hunters striking them down before they could threaten anyone. All seemed peaceful until the Soldiers of the Knight began rocking the boat. They began questioning whether the undead were truly evil. They had seen the undead and their general docile nature, but also understood the danger in them. The proposed that a stud be done to discover the true nature of the undead. Many years no action was taken, but the Diarch of Branos eventually relented, allowing a study to take place.

This study took many years, and at first the results were disputed. Supposedly the undead were not in general malicious. The undead were souls of the deceased that refused to continue on their journey. Unfortunately returning to the realm of the living only a portion of the soul could stabilize. The individual would not have access to their memories and be more or less directed by their base desires.
 
Annoyed by the lack of progress, the Twilight Hunters nailed a proclamation on the gate of the high temple. They demanded that the Twilight Hunters be disbanded and their duties be given to the Soldiers of the Night. Eventually the Soldiers were successful and the Twilight Hunters were disbanded.

The world was still extremely distrustful of the undead. It was clear to Akkarin Ladon and Avelana Roseheart that they had to take extreme actions to solve the problem. Together they sat down and after much work, they were able to modify the Nexus. Those that lived in Emeresia began slowly losing their fear of the undead, and eventually could not help but think of them as slow citizens. Outside of Emeresia people forgot that the individuals in Emeresia were even undead. Finally they needed a method to concentrate the undead to Emeresia . For this Diconom Rex helped them channel the power of Charnel and created the undead asylum. The souls that returned to the world would be pulled to the asylum, where a dedicated staff would help the soul continue on its journey. If they could not convince the soul to move on it would be helped into a body, and then help the person reintegrate into society.
