Varelden signs the document

        The Constable Varelden Vasquez sits in his office at the bottom of the keep, silently writing and signing documents. He awaits the arrival of new recruits.

Varelden stands silently atop one of the Keep’s towers. He watches the sky slowly turn from a dark blue to a golden yellow as the wind brushes through his hair, and awaits the first light. “May House Harkness live to see this view every morning for eternity.”

Briefly explain the lore behind this construct or creature: Graven are created through the violent death of one who was devoted to their work. After many years of burial, the body is re-animated in a new form. A shadow of their former self. You'd expect a ghost to enact revenge against its past form's murderer, but no. They continue to aim for completion of their unfinished work. Once their work is finished, the shadow will fade away unless tasked once more. A Graven could be a grief torn man looking to enact revenge for the loss of a loved one. A Graven could be a Prince who has not yet fulfilled his quest to become leader. A Graven could be anyone as long as they have purpose. 

Graven are spirits,  meaning their interaction is limited to the mission or task they cherished during their time as a living creature.  A mercenary is bound to hunt for bounties for eternity. A Prince, as mentioned above will continue to rule his kingdom until it collapses from either war, famine, or plague. 

Graven sometimes seem to disappear from sight. This occurs because their spirit energy can not bind their soul to the physical world for long periods of time. Graven are literally meant to work for a living. A mercenary would soon fade away if there is a decline in bounties, putting him out of work. Unless, he can conjure up enough energy to continue their work. This process is automatic as Graven cannot choose when they are reborn. 

Graven can still be harmed or killed though. Wounding Graven will deplete their spirit energy, thus causing them to fade away, but this does not mean they will return. Stabbing Craven through the heart will kill them like any other mortal man.

Graven usually appear as Undead or Spectral creatures. They may take the form of a simple ghost, or even be enclosed in pitch black armor or even blue and green flames. Looking Graven in the eyes can cause the trapped spirit within to be released, sometimes causing mortals to be driven insane.

Like mortal men, Graven have weaknesses. They are vulnerable to most phantom weaknesses, usually enchanted weapons, holy magic, shamanism, and even normal steel. They also have a sense of photophobia, making their eyes extra sensitive to sunlight, or bright lighting in general.
