Wights
Wights are undead that retain a sense of purpose, will, and intent beyond death. Unlike lesser undead, they are not merely animated by lingering magic, they act, pursue, and impose their presence on the world around them.
Often born from powerful emotion, dark influence, or unnatural circumstances, wights carry forward fragments of who they once were. These remnants are not memories alone, but driving forces that shape their actions even in undeath.
