Undead (Bloodless)

The Elder Species, the mortal Amazons, and the hostile Firewalkers were all engaged in war, squabbling over territories and imagined slights. The races of Esfah were out of control, and there were none to temper them, to teach them gentler ways. Nature and her elemental children were still in seclusion, recovering from the wounds inflicted by Death.

But Death remained on Esfah, and at last he tired of torturing his pets and let them loose. He turned his attention to the face of the world, and saw that the races had destroyed much of the once beautiful land. Mountains lay scarred by spells, fields were trampled by cavalry, and streams flowed red with the blood of the dead.

Death laughed, a great booming sound filled with malicious mirth. He leapt into the air, his form sprouting huge bat-like wings, and he wended his way across the land. His sharp eyes espied the bodies of the forlorn dead, and again he laughed joyously.

And in his wake, the bones of the dead, the decaying corpses of the dead, rose with trembling hatred to follow their master.

It was the dawn of the dead, and never had a day looked so grim.

When an Undead unit is killed you may instead exchange it with an Undead unit of lesser health from your Dead Unit Area (DUA).
Bone Magic
When an army containing Undead takes a magic action, each Undead unit that rolls at least one non-ID magic result may add one additional magic result. The number of magic results that may be added in this way is equal to the number of Undead units in the Undead player's Dead Unit Area (DUA), up to a maximum of four †.

The attacking player may return up to the amount of heath-worth killed this way from their Dead Unit Area (DUA) to the attacking army.
Dispel Magic
Special Whenever any magic targets this unit, the army containing this unit or the terrain this unit occupies, you may roll this unit after all spells are announced but before any are resolved. If the Dispel Magic icon is rolled, negate all unresolved magic that targets or effects this unit, its army or the terrain it occupies. No other icons have any effect during this special roll. Magic targeting other units, armies, or terrains is unaffected by this SAI.
Fly
Any During any roll, Fly generates X maneuver or X save results.
Plague
Melee During a melee attack, target one unit in the defending army. The target makes a save roll. If the target fails to generate a save result it is killed. That unit's owner then targets another unit in the same army to save or be killed. Continue to target units with Plague until a targeted unit generates a save result.

Those that do not generate a maneuver result are stunned and cannot be rolled until the beginning of your turn, unless they are the target of an individual-targeting effect which forces them to roll. Stunned units that leave the terrain through any means are no longer stunned. Roll this unit again and apply the new result as well.
