Greetings All,

In real life you here about cavemen and folks who got frozen on a high mountain or something and the ice kept them from deteriorating or whatever may be the case. So they're perfectly preserved.

It seems to me Undeath in the MGE Universe is similar in some respects to being freeze-dried and preserved as they were at the moment of death. The Mamono looks like they did in life, all functions of dying or decomposition are suspended, and they have a pale blue or grey skin tone. Also any injuries are fixed up but we'll leave that to magic. So maybe that's why it doesn't bother me. Death is less rotting away and just a 'suspension' of life.

In regards to 'morally wrong' Yes in real life I agree with you. But look where we are and look at the setting 'moral' is a fuzzy grey area.

Cheers,

The Weary TimeLord.

Edit: I had another thought too. It might be more correct to think of MGE Undeath as an adaptation or mutation even than just a suspension.

Because Undead Mamono can still think, feel, reason, have offspring, all that as opposed to just suspending death they are able to create life. (Unlife?) So they're more than just a stoppage of decomposition. They continue to grow and change so I think adaptation fits better than suspension.
