Question Coffin (fillinthespace)
« on: May 23, 2023, 07:41:50 pm »

As I finish World of Bones succession world I noticed the mention of coffin corpses and coffin butchers and so on in the Legends.  Are we talking about the undead or something?  I could not find it in the wiki.

Almost certainly a type of intelligent undead (like 'pale ghoul', 'frozen stalker' and so on.) Quite often, the same god will give the knowledge of life and death to multiple people. Each secret is unique, but gets influence from the god that delivered it. I reckon coffin corpse and coffin butcher are two types of undead from two secrets from one god of death and burial.

Do some digging in Legends Viewer. They should have been turned into a coffin corpse after death, and you can find the necromancer and particular slab with enough digging.
