World of Asphodel
Karkul Vesh is a place of dark reputation, where necromantic traditions are studied openly and the boundary between life and death is treated as a permeable membrane. You trained as a bone-reader, interpreting omens from remains and communing with the recently departed.

Death's Familiarity: You are comfortable handling corpses and can determine cause of death by examination. Morticians, undertakers, and death-worshipping cults treat you as a peer. The recently dead sometimes whisper to you.
I talk to the dead out of habit, even when they can't answer.
I find graveyards peaceful and cities exhausting.
Knowledge: Death is just another state of being — one worth studying.
Respect: The dead have earned rest. Disturbing them requires just cause.
I heard a message from beyond the veil that I need to deliver to the living.
My teacher in Karkul Vesh disappeared into the undercrypt. The dead say they're still down there.
I'm unsettlingly comfortable around death and forget that others aren't.
I sometimes prioritize the wishes of the dead over the needs of the living.
