WARNING: BURN YOUR CORPSES

[ScreamingDingo 16990]

 

WARNING - WIDE SPREAD CADAVERS AND SALTED EARTH

 

Upon the declaration of a large-scale conflict, the Braevosian must understand the implications of the death of hundreds, yet thousands upon the blades of one another. The rising Ibleesian populace has made us wary of corpse-craft and their true manipulation of your loved ones. The cannibalistic and tribal entities will flock upon the battlefields akin to Carrion and will pluck the bodies that are left on the wounds of the earth. Yet, as our discoveries found in the battlefields of yore, the development of spiritual and necrotic presences seem to spring up at sites of mass tragedy.

 

With such a conflict, recommendations are thrust upon many with what to do with the corpses of the fallen, even knowing of the religious implications of the leagues of the Sigsmundic Worshippers, burials are to be made FORBIDDEN for the sanctity of the Braevosian Peoples. These are the expected measures of how to handle the corpses of the dead, whether friend or enemy.

Recommendations:

 

One must ensure to get all the limbs, expelled fluids and flesh of the corpse in a single bundle of cloth. For the spreading of digits and other appendenges can lead to the rise of the Vampiric Masses of the Aeldenic forests taking foothold in the countryside.

 

TO FORGET THE DIGITS OF YOUR FOES WILL ALLOW FOR THE WRETCHED SMALL SPAWN OF THE VAMPYRE TO FEAST AND GROW IN STRENGTH. IF FINGERS ARE NOT INCLUDED IN GATHERING, THEY MUST BE BOUND IN GOLD OR WROUGHT IRON.

 

Once the body is gathered, one must make a large pyre in the proximity of where they were slain. If you separate the body from the tethered essence, then you will encourage the Midnight Massacres of 1387 that were told in many stories. To ensure the lack of Spiritual Presence, one must destroy the essence at its resting place.

 

IF THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE TO BUILD A PYRE, ONE MUST COMPLETELY LIQUIDATE THE CORPSE WITH BURNING OIL OR OTHER REAGANTS. THE BODY SHOULD NOT BE LEFT IN-TACT.

 

Once this pyre has been created, bodies and any weapons should be disposed within the pyre. The fragments of metal and such can carry essences that many magi’ can manipulate, and such should be destroyed for the protection of the inner soul.

 

A circle of salt should be employed around the pyre, to expel the presence of any eldritch forces that hide within the shadows. To envelope the bodies in flame is to truly cleanse them of true altering from forces beyond us.

 

Once the Pyre is alight, one must let the natural forces of the world consume the corpses, to ensure that its essence has diluted into the air and sent the soul towards the Seven Skies. 

 

DO NOT BURY CORPSES, THE HORRORS OF WAR AFFLICT NEGATIVE POISONS TO THE HUMOURS OF THE BODY. THESE WILL DESTROY CROPS AND ALTER THE LANDSCAPE ITSELF. THESE MUST NEVER REACH THEMSELVES BENEATH THE DIRT, TO ROOT THEMSELVES IN EVIL

Understand that warfare is something that throws the world into an imbalance, allowing for evil to grow its roots within the bleeding hearts of MAN. For we must quell the potential for evil to spawn itself from these conflicts and to allow for the guidance of the Seven Skies to envelope our understanding of how to finish these outbursts of violence. For Saul himself saw the sins of MAN be embedded within the blood of our forefathers, we instead must ensure that we can let the lands not be corrupted.

Antonius Cardinal Artorus has copies of the acolyte's missive distributed across Canondom preemptively knowing all too well how the legends around Mordring and the first cohort of Lectors went...

[Javert 5573]

Grand Prince Maegor makes a note to burn any of his dead. His culture already did that, especially with the recent plague on Dragonclaw Island, but it was always good to have more justification for it. He then wondered if this applied to animals too, and he began to internally panic on if he needed to dig up and burn any livestock that had died too...

Beneath the world, catacombs of fetid rot and rusted fetters shook, for an undead tyrant rattled - insectoid pincers clicking upon his skull, whilst he chittered endlessly. This memorandum found way into his claws, and was promptly ripped to shreds of parchment, scrawled with now unreadable jargon. "How cle-ever it iss'..." The acarid-beast chattered in abject vexation. "This'll prevent nothing' that is to come."
