====Barons of the Grave in the Game====

Barons of the grave most commonly find themselves in the role of the grave-keeper or the madman. Though, it has been known for them to also find themselves seeking the path to eternal life through finding the perfect balance of negative and positive energies in a body. It has also been known for barons of the grave to seek dominion over everything, by commanding other, undead barons of the grave, who in turn, command legions of undead armies for the original baron.

'''Adaptation:''' Barons of the grave can be adjusted to fit any world. If they are intended to be a major factor in the whole of existence, then, possibly, their connection with negative energy could allow them to sense things about the world before they happen, turning them into dark prophets. Controversially, if they are intended to have practically no influence what so ever in the world, then it could be that their connection with negative energy slows down their mind, and diminishes their will to live, making them regress, and dwell amongst the dead as they finish out their lives.

'''Sample NPC:''' Sylvia had never been completely sound of mind, often complaining about voices whispering in the night, and when she was a child, sitting up in bed, screaming from a nightmare as she tore (literally tore) her sheets apart. Though, as she grew, she learned to adjust herself to normal life, eventually even getting married to a respectable merchant named Fredrick Linth. A short while later in her life, as her new husband went farther and farther way from home due to his line of work, she began to relapse, not having anyone around to steady herself on seemed to drive her back into the pits of madness that she had pulled herself out of as she grew up. Local rumors say that, during these years of her life, sounds could be heard coming from the basement of her house during the night, and every now and then, lights would seem to spring into existence, merely floating around her home. Eventually Sylvia completely snapped, and, one night, when her husband had returned after a particularly long time away, she removed his spine. Many things happened that night. First, Sylvia vanished, with her husband's body. Second, many well known, and quite friendly people went missing. Thirdly, a plague began, spreading outward from Sylvia's home. Sylvia's whereabouts are currently unknown, though she is considered to be a disturbed and dangerous individual by most who once knew her.
