This page is under development and any comments will be much appreciated. Any non-living beings will be covered here. The relations between them can be better understood by considering their classification. Quite outside our own corporeal realm there are many other planes of existence, all inhabited by their own residents. Some of these are capable of visiting our planet, whilst others can take control of inanimate matter, either of their own volition or through the intervention of a mortal spellcaster.
One of the seven families of Supernatural Beings is that of Demons, evil spirits which plot the downfall of Good in support of the Dark Lords of Chaos and occasionally appear on the corporeal plane in person to advance their cause. The different types of Demon are listed here, but individuals are descried in the Faces area. Those demons which can only manifest on Titan by animating physical bodies are listed under Intelligent Animations or Undead.
Although demons are the most frequently encountered on Titan, there are many other Supernatural Beings known. As with the demons, individuals may be found in the Faces area, although no named elementals or ethereals are known.
Ever since the invention of sorcery by the elves, wizards have been tempted by the opportunity to create a near mindless servant to obey their every command. The usual method is to bind a minor elemental to a piece of inanimate matter, thus enabling much greater control, although other beings and other methods are tried from time to time. When the matter animated is the remains of a once-living being, the creature created is called undead.
There are times when a wizard requires more from a creation than simple obedience and so the most advanced sorcerers sometimes bind more powerful entities to physical forms, giving them a certain degree of independence. Based on the abilities of certain spirits to possess objects on the corporeal plane, these methods are so successful that they have even been developed to allow a spellcaster to control a simulacrum from a distance. When the object being possessed is the remains of a once-living being, the resulting creature is called undead.
The term undead simply refers to any being which shows signs of life after death and comprises several quite different types, which could equally be regarded as part of the above categories of supernatural beings, sorcerous slaves and intelligent animations. Many minor demonic entities are regarded as undead, because they only ever appear in the mortal realm when animating undead creations.
The alphabetical list of all Supernatural, Magical and Sorcerously Animated Beings will appear here.
