| After Li's sister, Xu, joined her at Shing Jea Monastery, Li began intently studying Necromancy. Her discovery of magic rituals and curses which allowed her to manipulate her own life force, rather than relying on minions resurrected from the dead, provided her with an entirely different school of study, and allowed her to better understand the unseen, spiritual forces in her own practice of Ritualism. | After Li's sister, Xu, joined her at Shing Jea Monastery, Li began intently studying Necromancy.

| Created on Shing Jea Island in December 2012, **Shen Jiong Xu** is a skilled Necromancer-Mesmer. She is the younger sister of **Shen Kuan Li**. Xu, like her sister, grew up in poverty in the depths of Kaineng. As Xu grew up, it became apparent that, while she didn't possess the same psychic prescience as her sister, she was blessed by the gods with a different sort of gift - necromancy, or the ability to work with both deceased beings, and employ magic relying on blood and life force. Xu's family reacted very differently to the revelation of her blessing: necromancy had long ago been relegated to an isolated, underground scene, where most individuals immersed themselves in experimentation involving the murder, and subsequent resurrection, of unwilling victims. | Created on Shing Jea Island in December 2012, **Shen Jiong Xu** is a skilled Necromancer-Mesmer.
