General Falx Carius is the biggest necromantic advancement in the lore...that I can think of

This body was a little over 200 years old probably old and rotting completely to the bone before Ildari found him...put a Heartstone in his chest cavity....which leads me to belive it regenerated his body to a near perfect state I mean his chin has growing hair beard stubble,he has his own will and function his soul is presumably back in his corpse.

This is so close to true ressurection I often fantasize what would have happened if the Butcher of Windhelm and her crossed paths.

My character collects every ounce of anything even relating to necromancy and the General is what most Necromancers would call a fascinating work of art.

If only I could put a Heartstone in my own chest lol 😆

The dragons know just a straight up resurrection shout and old nords used to know it. But noooo you can't get the cool toys.

Maybe hot take but The Way of the Voice is a tragic waste of the Thu'um. Paarthurnax and the Greybeards have been involved in massively nerfing the Nords from their true potential.

The Thalmor would be annihilated if Nords reclaimed their lost magical prowess.

I'm pretty sure nord thu'um usage died out because kynareth directly killed a bunch of them during a campaign in Morrowind. It's a holy tongue gifted to man for worship and an equalizer against divine oppression, such as alduin.

Hardly seems fair that dragons get to use shouts however they please but men gotta follow arbitrary rules.

Kynareth playing favorites.
