Undead of the Realms
With all of the knowledge Zakina has obtained through adventuring and from her ancestor, Lucky, she decided to write a comprehensive guide on the types of undead that other adventurers might encounter. She spent years researching the subject with the help of Lucky and Jordeira and published it a few years before departing for Basilla. It's the first non-fictionalized book she's ever published and with how many types of undead it covers, the bestiary is broken down into three volumes. The first volume covers the most common undead while the other two volumes are detail the lesser known and rare of their kind.
There's a disclaimer on the front page that encourages readers to use their best judgement when dealing with the undead as while the majority of them may be hostile, there are a good handful that aren't aggressive and should be treated with respect like any other person.
Some of the undead included in the bestiary are:
Attic Whisperers
Singing Sand Dog
Wandering Guardians
Vara'kyn

Purpose
It was written to prevent any more casualties due to a lack of knowledge on beings that can be found anywhere and everywhere. It details their most frequented areas or regions, their weaknesses, as well their origins. There's also tips on how to avoid them if they have no choice but to travel through a certain undead's territory, covering the best gear to survive an encounter if it does happen.
