Lacedon are undead ghouls that originate as humanoids that are malevolently cast into the sea and left to drown, either by murderers wishing to dispose of a rival or during times of war, when many sailor and marines fall overboard and are lost during boarding fights. Occasionally, a body presumed dead upon disposal, but in fact alive, will manifest as a ghoul. The practice of gaining the confession of a condemned prisoner forced to walk the plank, and blessing him prior to an execution, is intended to keep the body from rising as a lacedon.
They bear an intense resentment for intelligent creatures surface dwellers but will not actively seek out humanoid races that dwell beneath the sea. However, mermen, sahuagin and tritons will actively seek out these creatures and destroy them, if a nest becomes known. Most other intelligent races will leave them be, even leading outsiders into known lacedon-infested regions, letting these undead dispatch their enemies.
