Darth Vyrassu
Immortal Jen'ari Sith Emperor
Necromancy was the dark and mysterious art practiced exclusively by Clan Tarentum. While the art involved several core Force powers under different names, the term "necromancy" was used to classify the ritualistic and ceremonial practices that the clan partook in. It also symbolized Tarentum's alliance with the strange entities known as the Keepers, who had been able to strengthen the Force powers of the Tarenti so that they may better commune with both the dead and the living.
In 32 ABY, the Necromantic Order was ended and Necromancy was shunned by the reigning leadership of Clan Tarentum, in light of the fact that the Keepers had apparently been manipulating the Clan the entire time to cause more people, and subsequently members of Tarentum, to die. All of the remaining Keepers were ultimately slain killed in a series of events involving many enemies and conflicts within the Yridia system.
After the abolition of Necromancy, the Force school was phased out in favor of canon Clan Force Powers. Secretly, however, many of the eldest of Tarentum continued to practice the darkest arts on their own. While Necromancy would never again have official ties to Tarentum, there were some who were so intimately entwined with the arts, and with the study of all forms of life and death, that they would not completely release themselves from the practice. Sith Bloodfyre, the Sith Master of Tarentum, was perhaps the most visible adherent of the arts publicly. With his return as head of Tarentum's Household, some have stepped forward to publicly acknowledge their study and practice of Necromancy.
