So there are a handful of base classes out there that do well (more or less) with necromancy. Among them the are the wizard, cleric, dread necromancer (heros of horror), archivist (heroes of horror), and the death master (dragon compendium). I'm just wondering where all of these classes would fit into the thematic landscape of eberron. Here's what I'm thinking:

Aerenal: Cleric, Wizard
Blood of Vol: Cleric, Dread Necromancer
Karrnath: Death Master, Archivist

With five classes and three groups with a variety of different theme, I wanted to divide them up so that the thematic differences in game would be represented statistically.

Also, any thoughts about allowing to let the dread necromancer to take some non-necromancies with advanced learning as long as it fits the theme? Namely spells like stone bones, iron bones, desecrate, etc.?

Many Thanks and Much Love,

Archivists have nothing to do with necromancy. Their flavour is rather generic and can fit everywhere in Eberron.
