: When is there ever mention of an afterlife? Also the
: shade process is completely different from the thrall
: process just as the ghast process is different from
: the thrall process. They are all seperate means to
: achieve seperate ends. The thrall seem to be animated
: just as they are and have no free will and no minds.
: The ghasts are but the first step to wighthood. As
: seen by willow creek, ghasts aren't meant to be used
: as mellee units, and as such, they suck. Shades on the
: other hand have both free will (though they can be
: bound), a mind, and memories of thier past lives.

There is mention of the afterlife. I remember reading something along the lines of "...instead of returning to the One Dream..." in the Myth comic book if I am correct, which is Bungie material, not pseudo-myth. The One Dream as we all know is the beginning of the Myth physical-material universe upon which the game is based-played. Hence, that is the afterlife of Myth.
As for the making of Undead, it is done through the Dream of Unlife. You take a corpse and do either the following:
1) IF you want Thrall, you take a human corpse and re-animate it.
2) if you want a Wight, you re-animate a human corpse in such a way that it grows full of polyps and other yummy wen like blobs.
3) If you want a Shade, take an Avatara corpse and re-animate it so that it retains it's previous 'owner's' memories and abilities.
4) Soulless on the other hand are a different kind of Undead. You remove the soul of the individual, and obviously this is done while they are still alive.
5) Dirigibles aren't official units as they were never included in the game (for obvious reasons, the sprites are too goofy)
6) Bonemen/skeletons as seen in Chimera seem to be thrall without any skin, muscle, sinew, etc. I assume you just do the same process as a thrall but leave out the flesh part.
If there is any undead I missed let me know, but I still think the Dark uses the same process but in a different way to make the Undead
Later kiddies (again)
