Burial Customs

The culture of death that surrounds death is different in every region, but it's equally important to everyone.

In the South, death, although considered a natural step in life, is widely feared by believers in the Red Faced God, who believe if you were not ______ enough in your first life, your soul will be eaten.

In the North East, people bury their dead as a traditional custom. Burying a body, to those who practice the Will of Amos, is what ensures someone a save passage to the heavens...or the depths.

In the North West and Far North, people burn their dead as a sacred tradition in order to allow their soul to escape the physical body and rise up into the stars or to live amongst nature and become part of it. To those who believe in this burial tradition believe that a body that is not been burned will wander the earth, sometimes becmoing a demon plagued by despair and hatred or an evil spirit who will cause harm unto others until the body is discovered, burned and their soul released.

Grave Robbing
Grave robbing is considered a despicable act by all cultures. Anyone who is discovered to be a grave robber is looked down upon as garbage and is feared by nearly all pious people, who are terrified of being contaminated with their sin and that the disrespect of the dead will rub off on them and will prevent them from being allowed into the heavens after death. Grave robbing is considered a very serious crime and although it's not punishable by death since it says whoever kills a grave robber will become one next. It is said that anyone who robs a grave is followed by Sekir's hounds of death or by the Red Faced God himself.
