Hollowed One

You know that the end of your life is near as you bleed out onto the earth around. Nothing is left for you in the land of the living. Nothing will ever give you another chance to do all of the things that you still had or even wanted to do. After a while, you begin to see a dark tunnel cloud your vision as the last of your essence fades from your body. Again, there was nothing more that your body could do to offer you life. Next thing you know, you feel your body returning to life. You feel different somehow. Something isn't right. Someone is telling you what to do... and you are doing it without question. You haven't even started speaking yet and you just start doing the task that was asked of you.

"What is going on" you might ask yourself. "Who is this person to be giving me orders" is anothering question you might have. "Why do I feel so weak to this person's simplest commands" is definitely something you would wish to ask. Too bad you haven't been able to disobey or resist the person's will yet. Maybe you don't want to even try. All you know is that you are different than what you used to be.

Cursed Existence

The Hollowed Ones, although they can act normally as if they are still alive, are not alive at all. In fact, Hollowed Ones are actually undead, meaning that they died and were raised to an abominable existence. Hollowed Ones are generally raised by a being whose powers in necromancy surpass most necromancers and such a being is called a Deathlord.

The Deathlord's Purpose

Most often will the deathlord raise beings that will benefit him the most. Such beings may vary depending on the deathlord's needs. Some beings may just be raised for no reason at all.
