Thanati

Thanati is the collective name for the high-caste resurrected dead of High Cromlech. The Thanati sit at the top of High Cromlech's hierarchy as a caste of undead nobility. Most Thanati are unable to vocalize, so most can only communicate in Quiesy.

Description

The Thanati are described as "liches with sewn-shut mouths, with beautiful clothes and skin like preserved leather." Thanati are addressed with the title of "Deadman" or "Deadwife".

Creation Process

The process of creating a thanati is expensive and complicated. Only some of the richest humans in High Cromlech are able to afford the procedure. New thanati begin at the lower rungs of the caste, but can move up through political maneuvering and the cultivation of political relationships.
