Mummy

Mummies are a form of intelligent undead . They are often associated with the Blood of Vol faith, particularly the Crimson Monastery in Atur . [4] [5] Mummies are also sometimes members of the Order of the Emerald Claw . [6] [7]

Description

Mummies are generally an embalmed corpse covered in bandages inscribed with necromantic markings. [1]

Abilities

Mummies can terrify creatures with a single glare, sometimes rooting them to the spot. They also are vectors for the disease mummy rot. More powerful mummies are known as mummy lords, and can cast spells as a cleric does. [1]

Blood of Vol

Individuals who follow the Blood of Vol may undergo the rituals to become a mummy upon death. A common misconception is that becoming a mummy or another type of undead is a goal of the faith, but followers of the Blood of Vol actually believe mummies are martyrs giving up their own chance at divinity to guide others. [4] [8]

Lands

Mummies can be found in Blood of Vol communities. [4] There are also rumors of mummies guarding lost giant cities in Xen'drik . [9]
