RuneScape Dives Into The Necromancy Skilling Narrative In A New Dev Video

We’re just a few weeks from the release of RuneScape’s new Necromancy skill line and it’s apparently more than just a new set of skills as it comes with its own storyline. In preparation for its release, Jagex dives into the lore surrounding Necromancy which will tie in with the next season’s narrative and the game’s next major update.

The narrative will revolve around Rasial, the First Necromancer, a request from Death himself, and the your character gaining access to undead-raising abilities for the first time. The new narrative will come complete with nine new quests that will take you on a journey to investigate the mysteries of Necromancy, the undead, The First Necromancer, and the City of Um as you help Death free trapped souls in the city.

Along the way, you’ll learn new Necromancy skills, level them up, perform rituals, learn to communicate with the spirits you’re trying to free. You’ll also learn to master juggling Underworld and Necrotic energy which will come in handy on your journey through the world of Necromancy.

The art of Necromancy is set to make its way to Gielinor on August 7th. In the meantime, you can learn more about Necromancy lore in the video below.
