Initiation If a person with a low/average life force suffers a mortal death, the soul dies too. The only way around this is if someone uses their own life force to keep the soul from dying at the moment that the mortal death occurs. This process is most successfully preformed by immortals. This process has become a practice among the undead as a way of initiating new immortals into the after life. In a usual initiation, a human is killed by an immortal at their own will to become an immortal themselves. The one who kills them is usually the one who keeps their soul from dying and then becomes the fledglings 'maker'. Then the fledgling is adopted by an immortal, usually their maker, and is taught the laws and how to control their new powers. The one who adopts them is their 'surrogate parent'. Almost all the undead were initiated into the after life in this way.
