Those cursed with undeath go through horrible unliving, having a constant discomfort with their body, constant irritation and anger going through them, To be marked with the curse of undeath, you must scorn someone you hate so much before dying, that your soul is killed by pure rage, and what remains of your soul lingers in the material plane.
