Necromancers of Yent

The Necromancers of Yent were/are a culture of magic-using Humans that dominated Yent before the arrival of the Yentish.

Depending on who you ask, they've either been wiped out completely or survive in small, hidden communities. It's rumoured that they have secret towns in the mountains where they cook up wicked schemes

Since all information about them comes from the Yentish, their mortal enemies, it's hard to separate truth from fiction, but a few things about them are widely accepted:

- They had no taboo against raising the dead; much labour in their society was done by animated corpses

- They could make and build things much greater than anything the Yentish could manage

- They were physically smaller and weaker than the Yentish. Old Yentish writings talk about how incredibly ugly they were - frail, pale, sickly and ill-proportioned - at least as much as they talked about how evil, wicked, honorless etc. they were

Apart from these things, there's very little you know for sure about them. Even their name for themselves is now mostly lost; the Yentish mostly just call them "the wizards" and similar names
