No one knows what comes after death. The gods are dead, or may never have existed, and the afterlife remains a terrifying unknown. The only known and proven way to avoid oblivion is to become undead. Necromancy is the science of immortality, not merely “dark magic”; everywhere except the Necroimperium, it is banned under penalty of death.
