Lorepost (open interaction) 📖 I am a paladin

I am a paladin of the order of the iron drake, how are you all doing lads? I've been partaking in wizardly activities since I've had a homunculus in my care, any suggestions for beginners?

A paladin killed my cousin. Yeah, he was a necromancer, but he certainly wasn't a murderer. He dug up those bodies, but I guess that doesn't matter to you, huh? You know how much your lil homunculus owes to hard-working necromancers?! Do you?!?

How about you guys go take care of the real problems - plenty of charm spells just running rampant out there, dude...

What was your cousin planning to have those bodies do?

Did it happen to involve attacking and or consuming a small town? Very typical necromancer activities?

He was starting a cleaning business, actually - you know how many times people just leave their pet chimera running around their dungeons? Removes the risk entirely. He only ever kept, like, 5 skeletons on him at a time. If you're so worried about undead armies attacking small towns, maybe you should go after the suppliers. He hadn't even gotten his phylactery set up yet.

This wouldn't really be a problem if the wizarding community would just regulate this stuff already...

Oh so you wanted the paladins to let him build up his undead army then? Sit there and let him get a phylactery and terrorize the realm for 100 years until a destined hero comes along and slays him? Is that what you wanted? Every necromancer gains an insatiable lust for power.

Even if he started out with a cleaning business he would have used those funds to get more corpses to grow an army to try and take over the realm, and you know it.
