Uldreiyn
A necromancer is a powerful creature in the Dragon Stones Saga . In the first trilogy, four of them were introduced; Ionela Fairhair , Emperor Vosper , and Uldreiyn and Uevareth.
Appearance
Most necromancers look identical with regards to their physical characteristics. Regardless of their skin color or age when they are alive, after taking the Necromancer's Oath, they have milky white skin that is wrinkle-free and as smooth as a polished stone. Their eyes are completely black; no pupils are visible. They have black or gray tongues and sharpened red teeth. Necromancers’ mouths gnaw constantly, a byproduct of the magic that keeps them “alive.” They generally levitate silently in place, just off the ground. They smell faintly of licorice and rotting flesh.
Creation
a necromancer cannot be created unless a living spirit is first ripped from the body of three willing victims.The souls of the sacrificed enter the black heart of the necromancer, and there they remain—trapped for all eternity, or until the necromancer is destroyed. Necromancers are immortal. An experienced spirit conjurer is needed in order to create a necromancer.
Strengths
All necromancers have the ability to conjure spirits, because they are trapped spirits themselves. Even so, a conjured spirit is almost impossible to control, because of its rage. Necromancers glow red when performing magic.
Notable Weaknesses
Necromancers are weaker during the day, although they can still perform magic even in bright sunlight, it is uncomfortable for them. They feed off the life force of the people around them constantly, and although they can drain the life force entirely from a living being, this does not overly strengthen them. Necromancers are terrified of leeches, which, if attached to their skin, cannot be removed by magic or any normal means.
