Necromancess

An exchange pronounces Anna Eva Fay, the necromancess, a “Fay-ke.”

As the points double successively Polly becomes the Superheroine, followed by Enchantress, Sorceress, Necromancess, Legend and finally, at 76,800 points, Witch.

As you collect more points, so your character will change. You start off as a novice and progress through characters such as wizard and necromancer. Of course, if you’re a female character then you’ll be a witch or a necromancess.

Just as in the real thing, when one enters your location, you get a message like: CLAIRE THE NECROMANCESS HAS JUST ARRIVED.

The lair of the Crimson Lady, the Beast of Almhuin who scoured the Mountains of the Dark Ireland for prey to drain of their blood, so that she might bathe her white limbs and slake her terrible thirst . . . The necromancess who had once been Chaos’s paramour, but who now seemed to be his enemy. […] Rumour thought if she had had with her the entire House of Amaranth, they might have managed it. The slaying of the necromancess . . . Yes, together, their several strengths combined, they would surely have been victorious. […] As Guardian to the Crimson Lady, the BeastWoman, Almhuin’s necromancess . . . […] Several of the necromancesses had forced the Dark Lords to the floor, and had leapt to straddle them, forcing the monstrous organs between their thighs, moaning and panting.

Gottle the necromancess is here, carrying nothing

It is certain that the use of the word rune as ‘secret’ or ‘knowledge’ had come to be associated with magic at an early period, though. The ancient Goths, for instance, used an expression haliurunnae, literally meaning ‘Hell-runer’ to refer to sorceresses, and in Old English the etymologically identical compound hellerˆne translates ‘pythoness’ (i.e. seeress or witch). Old High German even had the equivalent compounds hellirûna (literally ‘Hell-runes’) for ‘necromancy’, hellirûnâri for ‘necromancer’ and tôtrûna (literally ‘death-runer’) for the feminine ‘necromancess’.
