It is a prejudice of you the living that the Requiem was a disaster for the living alone. When in truth the suffering of many of the undead was far worse. Once the mortuaries and the surrounding villages had been emptied and after every zombie unworthy of its flesh had been run down and torn apart, the ghouls could do nothing but devour one another. And the situation was bleaker still for the bloodsuckers. The surrounding countryside was soon bled dry. Further afield, a spirited resistance, secretly led by your beloved Kargat, resulted in frightful rates of attrition. Half-starved, the vampires set to eliminating each other. The survivors, many having lived in Il Aluk for a century or more, embraced emigration for the most part. But this was not an option for the wrethfetin, who would rise each night and, driven mad by their unsatiated hunger, would attack anything that moved, until they were themselves sent back to their graves, from which they would invariably return, save for when it rained. Mercifully, Death finally had the damned halflings staked where they lay.
