: Nope, the manual says that none of Soulblighter's human
: allies were able to make Knights; he gave them Knights
: to act as a bodyguard. It doesn't say this about
: Thrall, however.
: And note that the whole purpose of Level 5 is simply to
: kill one man--the Baron. Why is his death so
: important? Because "only then will his army of
: the dead be put to rest." As long as he's alive,
: he can keep making Thrall.
But keep in mind that this is BEFORE the light knows about SOulblighter being alive. They thought that the Baron was raising an army himself and probably SUSPECT SB after The Keep, but only learn of SB at, I beleive, the end of Gonen's Bridge.
: GURPS, incidentally, says that the creation spells for
: all the basic types of undead (except Shades and
: Myrmidons) are known to at least a few human
: necromancers. Stygian Knights are the hardest to make,
: followed by Soulless, then Ghasts, then Thrall.
: It may not be a particularly good story, but it *is*
: canon... :-)
