The Rekindled are beings torn from death—undead forms shuffling, striding, or staggering through the remnants of their former selves. Once living, they are now twisted by necromantic power, animated through forbidden rituals that bind soul to bone. Whether skeletal husks or rotting corpses, they burn with a spark not easily extinguished. They are summoned into [[Mortavia]], a cursed, apocalyptic realm where wild sorceries roam unchecked and death is only the beginning. Chaos reigns across its broken lands, and the Rekindled walk among the shattered ruins of forgotten kingdoms, their purpose fragmented but not lost. Each Rekindled retains faint echoes of their origins. Their speech is arcane, felt more than heard, carried through magical resonance. Though grotesque to behold, many are still noble, fierce, or compassionate. ## ✦Roleplaying a Rekindled The Rekindled straddle two worlds: the memory of life, and the magic of undeath. They may be seeking redemption, vengeance, or simply trying to understand why they still are. Consider: * Showcase the tension between who you were and what you’ve become. * Use your haunting presence to unsettle, intrigue, or provoke—your voice, posture, or even silence can speak volumes. * Portray the absence of a homeland or cultural anchor as part of your identity. * Craft layered interactions with others—sometimes cold, sometimes warm, shaped by fragmented memory and lingering emotion. **The Rekindled gain +1 to their [[Tenacity]] skill upon [[character creation]].** *“I don’t remember my name. But I remember how it felt to lose it.”*
