Great Resurrection Event

'We wove a fear into the primitive peoples of Toril. At their firesides, as their shamans, their soothsayers, we preached the fear of the dead, and soon they came to believe us. As they should! They have long since learnt to fear, to revere, but to not meddle. And now this changes.'- Necromantic Celebrant Lorenzo al-Mualim, one of the magocratic council of Thay, giving a speech in the wake of the Great Resurrection Event.
The Great Resurrection Event was an event caused by Thovir wishing to a Djinn (which Solodar Tailor let escape), happening exactly at Midsummer 7pm 1516. Pretty much, from this exact moment on, anyone whose body was mostly intact could raise from the dead at any time, as the bond between life and death weakened. From now on, most bodies ought to be cremated. Not even beheading could stop someone, nor dismemberment - only being broken into many pieces and separated, or more commonly being burnt.
Those raised in the event were considered Undead versions of themselves with special rules.
