Soul Gate Question

[Graeme Dice]

I'm wondering which reanimations use population, which use corpses, and which can always be done as the Soul Gate theme for Ermor.

Disposessed Spirits and Apparitions use corpses, Shadows are free.

BTW i have seen Shades and Shade Beasts appearing with Call Shadows and Ghosts and Wailing Ladies(!!!) appearing with Call Apparitions along with the normal Shadows and Apparitions.

I think that small amounts of shades are autorecruited, like legionaires. I don't know whether wailing ladies are as well, but I've seen unholy priests appear as autorecruited leaders (at least I think so).

Apparitions use 100 Population when created.

Shadows and Dispossesed use Unburied corpses.

I'm pretty sure that the Wailing Ladies appeared spontaneosly. OTOH, the province had a temple.
