Homebrew Aurelian Species Details
Aurelians are beings of death and shadow, enlisted to act as divine punishment to those who think they are above death. They are created directly by the God of Death, each chosen specifically by him for the honor of a second life. Necromancers who overstep their bounds, Liches, and other intelligent undead all live in fear of the day an Aurelian appears before them to do the work of their god.
