There are some things a typical necromancer can't do without a cavalier by their side. [Something about the way she says 'typical necromancer' suggests she doesn't consider herself included in that.] But it does lack for poetry.
[harrows talking about some level 15 shit here where you start developing the powers to fight and kill gods so really this is all above his head but he very much enjoys the stories]
Cavalier? I'm going to take a wild guess and say that's someone to take some punches, yeah?
. . . Yes. Necromancer and cavalier is the traditional partnership. Typically, a necromancer is powerless without thanergy to fuel their power. A cavalier fights with physical combat, and opens sources of death for the necromancer to use. A necromancer like myself, who is heir to one of the nine houses, would be aided by my House's cavalier primary. A position of historical prestige and honour.
Well, yes. That too, certainly. Though my cavalier lacked the 'shield' portion quite decisively. For the Ninth, the prestige of the post truly was only a historical matter.
