The Priory of Universal Truth

Undead but not forgotten... these brain or flesh (or stale bread & gruel) eating corpses just keep on coming! There are in fact many types of zombie and not all are, strictly speaking, undead reanimates. There are reputed potions, used by unscrupulous witch-doctor types, that only give the appearance of death, such zombies are apparently re-animated to an after life of drudgery and slavery, but were in fact never dead to begin with. Then there are the 'true' zombies, victims of dark necromantic rituals and spells that summon the spirits of the dead and force them to possess decomposing bodies (whether their own or not), strange poppet's, dolls or even golems. On top of that there's the cursed mummies awakening in museums and then there's the mad scientist who, either accidentally or on purpose, brings back the deceased with wildly unethical scientific advances, that inevitably end up with hoards of the living dead running amok in the country side, suburbs and / or city centers.
