Draugr

A noble race within the Undead Empire.

	+ A few black veins spread across their faces when they blush or presumably get otherwise flushed. **Chapter 985**
* have solid black eyes akin to staring into the abyss. (**Chapter 205**)
* Draugr naturally have hair that is white/silver/grey, though that doesn't hold true for Zac
* A real Draugr wasn’t really at the level of Vampires in the movies, but they definitely wouldn’t be described as *average-looking*. **Chapter 685**
* Draugr apparently don't or more likely can't grow beards. **Chapter 685**

### Traits

* are among the best at cultivating miasma, surpassed only by the Eidolon and the Founders. (**Chapter 432**)
	+ Draugr, a race born from the Abyssal Lake, one of the purest representations of Death in the multiverse. It cultivated Miasma since birth, essentially meaning it had a natal Death-attuned Physique. **Chapter 830**
* have resilient bodies, albeit not to the extent of the Izh’Rak Reavers
	+ their bodies have a natural resistance against poisons. **Chapter 446**
	+ Zac's skin on achieving D grade race was tough enough to resist weapon strikes without using skills like Innate Ward (**Chapter 695**) and has only gotten tougher on awakening his bloodline without losing its elasticity (**Chapter 963**).
* It wouldn't be inaccurate to call us an aquatic race, and high affinity to Ice and Water is quite common among our kin. **Chapter 1,086**

## Abyssal Shore

The Abyssal Shores is the territory around the **Abyssal Lake** and acts as the seat of Draugr power. It is also the name of their centralised faction. A few of their clans have permanent residence there, while some elites of their race get to train there temporarily. It’s in the heart of the Empire, so the cultivation environment is naturally unsurpassed. **Chapter 756**

### Abyssal Lords

The two A-grade leaders of the Draugr race are known as the Abyssal Lords (**Chapter 789 & 790**). Presumably, there used to be four before two of them sacrificed themselves to move the Abyssal Lake.

* Prince Aewo An'Azol **Chapter 950**
* Princess Ysil Ur'Mez **Chapter 1,076**

### Abyssal Council

first mentioned in **Chapter 899**.

* It is implied to be made up of at least late Autarchs. **Chapter 949**
* They are revealed to have been involved in the scheme in which the **[**Essence of the Abyss**]** given to Zac was tampered with to consume the life within his body and force him to choose death. **Chapter 1,076**

## Role in the Undead Empire

* The Draugr are one of the five purebred undead races. Even though they look mostly human, they are not. They have no living counterparts, the same as the other four pure races. Their origin is unknown, just like the true origin of the undead in general. **(Chapter 249)**.
* There are many old Clans among the Draugr who are considered nobility. But most of the Draugr are simply normal cultivators, though still elites of the Undead Empire. **(Chapter 250)**
* Zecia and the sector containing the Twilight Harbour are in the domain of a Draugr Kingdom (Umbri'Zi Family) and are considered part of the Draugr Domains, though that’s naturally contested by the living (**Chapter 713**).
* The Draugr clans have destroyed thousands of worlds within the Havarok Empire alone, afflicting trillions with the curse of undeath (**Chapter 714**). This has increased with the recent Draugr-Havarok war.

### Strength

* Since the sacrifice of moving the Ancestral Lake (that led to the deaths of two A grades), the Draugr have been considered the weakest of the five. **Chapter 790**
* The Draugr lost a lot as well during those years. So many succumbed to the environment. Altogether, over a third of our heritage is gone. **Chapter 948**
* Catheya had once mentioned that there had only been around 150 Abyssal Princes since the System's birth, with a few more suspected Supremacies who never made their status public. In other words, the two families of the Azol branch were responsible for roughly a third of all Draugr Supremacies. **Chapter 1,079**

### Society

* Draugr society was mostly similar to what he was used to, but there were some distinct differences. Marriages were uncommon and almost only took place between Dao Partners. Perhaps it made more sense. Until death do us part had a completely different meaning when some lived for millions of years. It was more common to have shorter trysts between cultivation sessions or missions, and those affairs occasionally resulted in children being born. Of course, this was mainly for Hegemons and higher. Those stuck in the lower grades had more traditional family structures. Ultimately, the clan was considered the true family unit, and being a father or mother was not seen as very important. It all felt a bit foreign to Zac, but it was quite normal compared to some societies he'd read about over the past years. **Chapter 1,018**
* Bloodline decided which clan the offspring would be part of, though there were rare exceptions. For example, if Catheya's father had wanted to adopt his daughter even if she was born with the lower bloodline, he probably could've. **Chapter 1,018**

## Role of Bloodlines

* A completely purebred Draugr of an ancient bloodline is unheard of in a remote sector like Zecia. The few Draugr clans around were apparently just mixed-blood clans that would just barely be considered Draugr by Heartland Standards. (**Chapter 540**). Tassar Kavriel is the leader of the undead in the Zecia sector. His ancestor was an illegitimate mixed-blood son of an Umbri'Zi elder (**Chapter 935**).
* They can crack down on unsanctioned descendants through bloodline arrays, if there is a connection to the current lineages. **Bk 3 Ch 60**
