By immersing the corpses in the abysmal depths of the Dead Sea. The Kralori gather together the corpses and place them in one great big net weighed down with lead. Then they sail to a special location in the Suam Chow where they know there's an entrance to the Dead Sea and let the net sink through. When they feel a struggle at the other end, the weights are loosened and the corpses hauled back up ready for action.

What's so sorcerous about creating zombies? The recent debate was whether Kralori had magical traditions that interpreted the cosmos through reason and not whether the Kralori had wicked magical traditions (which they undoubtedly have in spades).
