Summary
They won’t let anyone return for the bodies. Not even Callan’s.
The first few days after death, all that happens is rot. Rot and carrion-eaters. On the third night, the soul is expelled from the remains. After that, after some days or weeks, the soul becomes corporeal. No one knows what happens in those days, but there are theories. Most believe death infects the soul, using it as a way to exist in the living realm, and drag other living into itself. Others will say the soul learns to be corporeal through madness and grief.
Whatever happens, the result is clear: those left unburied cannot truly pass on, and those who don’t pass on become corrupted.
It’s a terrible fate, one worse than death. One Khadgar won’t allow to happen to Callan Lothar.
