Corpses are the physical shells left behind when living beings are
    killed. If the being had a soul, it can remain connected to its fresh
    corpse and might even cause the corpse to rise as an undead, if it is
    not buried or disposed of properly.
    
    Paladins and Fallen are most notable for using this property, the
    former gaining honour by laying to rest the corpses of evil beings,
    the latter gaining power by feeding corpses of anything that happened
    to cross their path, to the blades that wield them. However, most
    Gifted Ones' guilds grant dues when corpses are buried in accordance
    with the guild's method, as a sign of allegiance, and usually this
    will be done rather than have a corpse rise.
    
    More nefariously, the Necromancers are notorious for butchering
    corpses and taking parts with them for their experiments, and some
    have put together parts of corpses into undead beings that move, act
    and abide by their commands.
