Revenant[]
Death is usually the end of natural existance for most creatures. However, for the revenant it is only the beginning. The individuals are selected by the Raven Queen to return to the mortal world and fulfill some greater purpose. They return not as a mindless corpse or some undead abomination but as a living, breathing being that has one foot in the mortal world and one in the afterlife. Revenant exist as haunted beings, knowing only what they need to to fulfill their mission but struggling with shadows of memories of the life they once lived.
Revenants have no settlements and no culture. In fact a revenant can go through his entire "life" without ever encountering another of his own kind. Instead, everyone of them knows that they have been awakened for a purpose and only when that purpose is fulfilled can they return to death's embrace.
