The Book of the Dead is a unique and often misunderstood institution dedicated to the study of necromancy—the manipulation of life forces, the dead, and the energies that bind life and death. Situated in a sprawling, ancient graveyard, the school stands as a monument to the study of mortality, the afterlife, and the boundaries between the living and the dead. The architecture of the school is a solemn mix of grand crypts, towering obelisks, and intricate catacombs, all designed to honor the passage of life into death and the mysteries that follow.

At its core, the Book of the Dead is not a place for those who wish to simply raise armies of the dead or to seek power through dark forces. Rather, it is a place where students learn to respect and understand death as a natural part of existence. Necromancy, in this context, is not about evil or malevolence—it is about control, knowledge, and the exploration of a force that is intrinsic to all life. Death is a medium, not a curse. Like paint, marble, or clay, the dead can be shaped, studied, and used to create something new—be it for knowledge, defense, or even healing.
