hang on a sec. does everyone alive think that necromancers were always a thing. because i’m rereading gtn and harrow says the facility is from pre-resurrection but then she says that theorems and tests were left down there “for any necromancer talented enough to understand what they were doing” 

so either she thinks necromancers were always a thing and is referring to pre-resurrection humans as necromancers, or she thinks that pre-resurrection humans had knowledge of necromancy and somehow did a chicken before the egg sort of thing where they designed the tests before there was actual necromancy
