Think of thalergy as life energy and thanergy as death energy. Thalergy is necessary for life to exist. When someone dies of old age, it's because their thalergy has run out. When someone dies abruptly, though violence or accident, their thalergy converts to thanergy. That's what necromancers use. It's the energy that's created by death, decay, and entropy.
Most planets and stars generate thalergy. The Dominicus System of which the Nine Houses are uniquely generates thanergy because of the Great Resurrection. Within the system is the only place necromancers are born.
