Tired of bullies ruining your day? I mean, the true thugs in this
world. There are a lot of great people that use the skill-set of
necromancy. I mean no disrespect to those with honor.

But most of the thugs in this world, happen to also have necromancy. Why
is this? It is because it gives them a powerful skill called soulcage.
What is soulcage? It is like a starburst tattoo, that can be activated
anytime, except when the user dies they lose no experience points.

Yes thats right, it allows them to rush into a battle, usually in order
to terrorize you are your friends, and not fear death. If they fall to 0
health, they can just starburst again. Its not uncommon to see these
people starburst 4 times in a fight than blackwind to run away.

In the old days, this did not happen. People soulcaged maybe once in a
battle, because essence required work to get (eating hearts). Now they
can go attack a large group of druids, soulcage a few times, rat for a
few hours, and be ready to soulcage 4 more times in a fight.

This is because of the landmark system. For every landmark turned to
darkness, it allows necromantics to gain free essence every dawn.
Landmarks are something you can change. Yes, thats right. If you are
either sick of the wrong doings that go on in this world, hate herb
bans, are you yourself are being murdered daily by people 100000% your
might you can make a difference!

Ethians crossing allows us to accomplish the task of stopping these
people. You see, from now to the end of Ero landmarks can be changed.
After that they can't. If there are no evil landmarks, there will be no
free essence for these thugs for an entire achaean year and a half. This
means you will enjoy greater safety, and there will be less pointless
attacks.

Do landmarks help the church also? Yes, but it makes little difference,
there are few skills that use much essence in devotion, and in fact, its
very rare that a churchie will run out of devotion in a fight. But
necromatics can very easilly run out of essence in a fight, its very
likely.

Basically, this is something everyone in every guild, even newbies can
do to make acahea a better place, and stop these blights on the world
from doing as much damage as they do.

As far as generally honorable people who use necromancy that might be
hurt by this, its unfortunate. But if essence was not abused on a daily
bases to kill innocent people, people would not hate essence so much.
I'm not saying you have to police your own, but its a slight suggestion.
