| Wow... I wonder how a sunmaiden vs. vampire matchup would turn out? (Probably quite poorly for the vampire, I believe.)
This is a very neat idea - an undead that is associated with light instead of darkness. The fact that it doesn't necessarily have to be evil is a nice touch. |

| A very unusual take on the undead, and one which I fully support! My only real gripe is that their flavour text has a bit of dissonance, as there is presently no way to 'convince them away'. |
