E: Another bonus! We might have a bit of culture going on here as sentient species tend towards burning the bodies of their dead to prevent reanimation instead of burying them where they could, with time, dig themselves up again.

That'll be fun to go into. I feel like I might do something regarding that soon enough.

Silly savage, my witch doctor tells me that you bury bodies face down to stop them from coming back as zombies to kill you! That way when they try to claw their way out of their graves and kill you, they're very confused to eventually hit solid bedrock.

In all seriousness though, it would be interesting to see what the Hain etc. do with their dead in the face of zombies becoming a thing.
