The Wrapped Generation
Shrunken wrapped shawls cover bodies in coffins. Dried and desiccated, skin and muscle pulled in around limbs. Bones poking out prominently, eyes withdrawn into skull sockets. A rattling wheeze from deep within the body the only indication of life. A bead of unlife placed within the heart cavity to keep them in suspended undeath.
Lafayif La Tantahi decreed that an entire generation of men, women and children would be mummified. A warning for all future generations to come. That to cross the Awal Ramaal is to live forever in unwilling servitude.
