A person that has been touched by death has been given a second chance at life after dying. Lord of the Death has touched them and left his mark on the creature's shoulder, marking them as one of the creatures who once passed. Spirits of the recently deceased are drawn to this mark and are able to communicate with the creature who carries the mark. The spirits are often confused, lost, and looking for guidance which they hope to receive from the carrier of the mark.
Some call the mark a curse, some a blessing.
