Dnurū are usually misguided priests or wizards who have embraced the eternity of death in the world of the living. Dnurū are bound to a phylactery or place which contains their spirit and power. By committing their spirit to an earthly vessel or location, the magician’s “death” never proceeds beyond the First Step of Passage. Such tampering is considered heretical by the Cult of Drāūn, which devotes itself to the destruction of Dnurū and their kind.

The process for becoming a Dnurū is one of the darkest arts known to Mortals. While the transformation spares the subject from true death, it does not spare them from the rigors or dying.
