#vegan necromancers

[utilitycaster]

just finished A Memory Called Empire and while I haven't read the sequel yet this deserves the same level of fandom as the Locked Tomb and I say this as a fan of the latter

[everythingdnddd]

Keyleth: "So you're a necromancer..."

NPC: "No! No! I don't deal with that ridiculous stuff."

Percy: "He's talking about transmutation of some kind."

NPC: "Yes yes! Thank you! The transitioning of essences or sparking of essence within what was once non-living matter... I'm talking about elements. I'm not talking about flesh!"

K: "Like natural elements....?"

Vex: "Like golems!"

Percy: "Yes, like golems-

It's the veganism of necromancy."

[ds-909]

Would a necromancer realistically be veggitarian or vegan? Like, if they didn't eat meat, they could later use it to raise simple fodder to charge at silly knights or make a cow soldier?

Now he's been sold to some cult so he can raise their "Blood God" from the dead. The only real upside to all of this is that their Blood God might be just as lost and confused as Tommy is.

New game! The Bread Must Rise by Stewart C. Baker and James Beamon

New game! "The Bread Must Rise" by Stewart C. Baker and James Beamon is now available on Steam, iOS and Android. It's 40% off until October 5!

In this magical baking contest, you'll team up with the Queen Undying to bake your rivals into an early grave—or out of the grave, with necromancy!

"The Bread Must Rise" is a 450,000-word interactive comedy/fantasy/baking/eldritch horror novel by James Beamon and Stewart C Baker. It's entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

Also, by lots of terrible jokes.

You've been chosen as one of six contestants in the Great Godstone Bakeoff! Godstone, renowned throughout the twelve mostly civilized realms as the "city of a thousand bakeries," is not what it once was. The Queen Undying, a necromancer rumored to have a taste for human blood, has filled its streets with terror, while the robe-shrouded members of the Carb Freeon cult threaten bakers with impunity. And something is off with the City Council, a group of shadowy figures who nobody ever remembers seeing.

You're one of Godstone's top bakers, with a scrappy little business, a mysterious confectionary legacy from your late parents, and a former best friend who stole your recipes to make his own fame and fortune. You’ve got a lot to prove in this competition, and you’ll stop at nothing to reach the top of the profiterole tower.

But everything changes when the Queen Undying herself appears at your bakery. The queen has forced you to become her newest thrall, helpless to resist her eldritch power. And, for mysterious reasons, she's commanding you to make her your baking assistant!

Exercise your breadcraft magic to turn the saddest soggiest-bottomed bakes into stunning showstoppers; sweet-talk the judges into giving you the win; or just put in good old-fashioned hard work. If you're not satisfied with just making bread rise, maybe you'll start making the dead rise, too: necromancy is powerful, and the Queen Undying's spells might be just what you need to complete that recipe…or to take down your rival once and for all.

Play up to the press, win the adoration of your fans, and navigate the influence of the Carb Freeon cult as you bake your way to fame! The farther you go in the tournament, the closer you get to learning the secrets of your own past, uncovering clues about your parents' life and death. And the closer you come to learning the City Council's shadowy plans for Godstone…

Play as male, female, or nonbinary; gay, straight, bi, pan, or asexual.

Choose your ingredients: play in omnivore, vegetarian, or vegan mode.

Manage your budget to fill your pantry with the finest magical and mundane ingredients.

Find love with Godstone's fanciest food critic, a dreaded necromancer, a former adventurer, the Bakeoff's charismatic host, or even your best-friend-turned-worst-enemy!

Quell the Carb Freeon cult or join its ranks.

Sell out to the realm's biggest bakery franchise or triumph as a plucky small business owner.

Gaze upon the horrors of eldritch dimensions.

Will you take home the trophy or fade into bland obscurity? One thing's for sure: you'll never look at brownies the same way again.

The Locked Tomb and Consumption as Praxis

We got some attention up-front, 'cause people thought we were trying to get media jobs with some excellent deepfakes. They thought we were playing a game or giving people a puzzle, maybe doing some branding. Branding, then? Talk about late-late-stage capitalism, right? How far can consumption as praxis go? - John 8:1, Nona the Ninth

Alright, I've seen fans of The Locked Tomb respond to this section by asserting that "consumption as praxis" is the basis of John's empire. And I don't agree there. So let's break this down.

Praxis, in contrast to theory, is the things you do. As a completely neutral descriptor, voting is a form of praxis. Protesting is a form of praxis. Writing one's elected officials is a form of praxis. Fire-bombing a Walmart is a form of praxis.

And consumption is what you eat, the stuff you buy, and the media you watch.

So examples of consumption as praxis would be: adhering to a vegan diet because you object to the treatment of animals in the meat industry, participating in a boycott of a company, and watching a movie in theaters on opening night because it has queer rep.

When consumption as praxis gets criticized, it tends to get criticized for being hyper-individualist, passive, and ineffectual. One person along refusing to buy something is not a boycott. Refusing to buy something you weren't buying in the first place is not participating in a boycott; that's just feeling smug about doing nothing. Back in the days before streaming, viewers would watch something to support a show, except that if they weren't a Nielsen's household, this wasn't even being tracked.

John is disparaging consumption as praxis because the world is so fucked at that point that they're at 'up and leave the earth' as the drastic measure that's being taken. In light of that, what one consume is so utterly trivial.

Alright. So did John construct The Empire of the Nine Houses around consumption as praxis?

No, he did not.

We don't see much of the world-building of the Nine Houses - we can't even say for sure what economic model is runs on - but there's very little focus on consumption in general. The characters aren't overly focused on what they eat. I don't even think it's even established how the characters go about buying things. We don't know what the currency is; we only know that money is a concept because Gideon's trying to pay off her indentured servant contract! And the only media we get is Gideon's pornographic magazines.

The House characters we meet don't center "what they do" on what they buy, eat, or watch. At least one of the Houses - the Ninth - seems to eschew worldly pleasures as a matter of course.

If the Nine Houses centered consumption as praxis, we'd get, say, Coronabeth talking about the ethics of buying such and such gemstone. We just do not get that.

Well, unless you want to count necromancers becoming Lyctors by eating their Cavaliers.

But otherwise, no. The Nine Houses is not built on consumption as praxis.

He raised an eyebrow. “Where are you getting vegan from? I eat eggs and consume milk products.” Bubble tea and mahalabia, along with other milk puddings happened to be one of his favourite drinks and desserts

Dead Wood

“We know what you are,” hissed an unpleasant voice from the doorway.

Shari turned from arranging a display of wooden cutlery to aim an unimpressed glare at the pair of strangers. They could have blended in well enough with the passersby outside, but they were clearly from out of town. Again.

“Do you?” Shari asked, deliberately turning her back on them. Her shop was tidy enough, but there was always work to be done before the regular customers started filtering in. “So which big-city woodworker feels threatened by my success this time?”

They were silent for an awkward moment, then blustered on. “This isn’t about your store. This is about you being an abomination that should leave town before the nice people outside get wind of it.”

Shari turned, hands on her hips. “They already know, you idiots. Are we done here, or do I have to threaten you back?”

Surprise flitted across both faces. The shorter man who’d been doing the talking sneered and pulled an amulet from his shirt. “We’re protected from any unclean thing you can throw at us. I find it unlikely that these people really know. I was doing you a favor by giving you the chance to leave before we blow your cover, but no, you had to bluff instead.” He shook his head and moved toward the street.

“Look around you,” Shari snapped, spreading her hands at the room, which was half storefront and half workshop. “Do you see any woodworking tools in here?”

The men looked around at the planks and logs, and the many intricate things made from them. “So?”

“So this is all dead wood,” Shari told them. “Did you think necromancy was just for animals?”

Any response they might have made was forgotten when Shari shaped the air with her hands, causing the nearest stack of planks to spring forward into spindly wolflike forms with lengthy teeth. A hefty log stood up into a looming creature of sticks and nightmare. A pole turned into a snake that slithered toward them with the rasp of wood across the floor.

The men were stumbling backward, clutching their amulets. “You can’t touch us! Stay back!”

Two more gestures, and a board rose behind them to catch their heels, sending them toppling onto the fresh sheet of needle spikes that were just long enough to pierce the skin.

“Enjoy the splinters,” Shari said as the men yelled louder than necessary. “Go tell your boss to quit being a sore loser and just make better products instead of making it my problem.”

They got to their feet in a mix of fear and anger, solidifying into fear as the roomful of wooden monsters closed in.

“I promise you,” Shari continued. “They will not be happy if they become my problem.” The monsters lunged in unison.

The men fled, scrambling into the street and shoving people aside.  

“Sorry about them,” Shari called out as she flattened the spikes in the doormat. “Troublemakers that won’t be back.”

A passing seamstress stopped to stare at the fleeing men. “Did that rich guy send more thugs after you?” she asked.

“Somebody did,” Shari said, busy reverting her constructs into blank wood. “If they show up again I’ll get the name from them.”

“I’ll be happy to report them to the city guard,” the seamstress said. “We don’t want you to have to defend yourself in a way that they can use against you.”

“That’s why I stuck to splinters,” Shari said. “ ‘She scared me, Your Honor. Then I tripped and got these grievous wounds.’”

The seamstress smiled. “Yeah, grievous wounds are what they’d get if they tried anything serious and the rest of us got involved. Grieg still wants to thrash somebody for the damage they caused last time.”

“It was nothing I couldn’t fix,” Shari said. “But thank you.”

“Of course. Say, do you have any more of those three-color bowls? My mother saw mine and wants her own set.”

“Give me a couple minutes and I will!” Shari waved her in. “Just got the right wood in yesterday.”

The seamstress thanked her, and the two of them disappeared inside the best little woodworking shop in three kingdoms.

Inspired by the thoughts of necromancy + plant magic. This isn’t even the original idea; there’s so much more to do with the concept. Anyone else is welcome to add their own take!
