▲ 108 r/Eldar

Soul stones are an infinitely more humane version of servitorization. Aeldari also prove that necromancy is morally good as long as it works reliably and is consequence free.

Both the Aeldari and imperium use semi-dead people in place of AI. One job is just a lot cushier and a lot less painful. When you really break it down, Dreadnought pilots are just unlobotomized space marine servitors, and the wraith constructs are their equivalents, so this is basically confirmed lore.

One may point out that wraith constructs are more like daemon engines, since the constructs contain a ghost rather than a physical body, and I would agree. The problem is that I would also consider most daemon engines to be akin to servitors— trapped people used to replace the function of an ai. The only real differences are in vessel that the soul is housed in, and that Aeldari servitorization is consensual.

I would also consider the Aeldari to be a civilization of necromancers. This is because their civilization collectively uses magic to capture the souls of the dead and prevent them from passing them into the afterlife. This faction is a prime example of why necromancy is ultimately a good thing for humanity, and if it was real it would be the best path forward for all of us.

▲ 6 r/sigils

Author for fictional setting, I want to learn about sigils to incorporate them into my setting. Where do I start researching?

Hello! I am an author researching sigils for my setting and thought it best to ask the professionals. I have no idea how any of this works.

I should clarify that I don’t just want to research sigils and sigil creation, but also the history behind said process.

I’ve tried looking on Wikipedia and came up pretty empty, other than that I have no idea which sources to trust. Any pointers?

Also (just double checking) considering that my intention is to create fiction, will the resulting system I create have the potential to cause harm. I don’t want to accidentally get myself possessed or attached to anything malevolent, nor do I want such things for my reader. Any precautions I should take?
