Gravewalker Forgotten

CanonOfficial lore from the booksBoDp. 13

The Gravewalker Forgotten are one of the two subraces of forgotten found in Teneris, the other being the Desolate Forgotten.1

A gravewalker has risen from the grave for reasons no one knows and now walks among the living. A power moves within their body that does not depend on its physical form, and their stilled heart and somewhat clouded mind whisper to them about how to use this second chance.1

The marks of undeath are less pronounced in a gravewalker than in a desolate forgotten, so with some effort a gravewalker can choose to live a life within society.1
