Thank you for your thoughts on the matter but again as many have done you are associating Necromancers with raising the dead in terms of bring corpses back to life. What the Shepherds of the Lost do is exactly what you suggested. They 1. Are Shepherds to Lost Souls. They dedicate their work to the role of what you might call an exorcist, giving peace and salvation to the departed so they do not harm the living with their misguided desires. 2. This is the way Oath works. They do not command the dead, they work with the dead. In order to reach a goal. They do not raise the dead to enslave them and force them to commit atrocious acts. 3. I also considered this but to remain in the flavor of FF went with the Necromancer Job title because there is not Exorcist, or Medium class in all of Final Fantasy's history of Jobs. The closest I could find is Necromancer.

Regarding your notion that Necromancy is frowned upon in Eorzea and there'd be no safe haven for the WoL you are correct...IF they committed the taboo of raising the dead. Summoning the dead from beyond the grave in a form of a spirit is not the same thing. Though many would make that assumption which is part of the story I'm working on. My NCR Job is more similar to a mixture of Summoner and Dragoon focusing on mainly AoE damage while darting about the field slashing with your scythe. Maybe Corse is what hints to the act of raising the dead that everyone seems so eager to jump on...however if you know a better physical attacker summon who isn't a Skeleton I'd be happy to change that in an instant.
