Darius had suggested burning the corpses to prevent "zombification", and what I meant to say was this: burning the corpses, while probably a reasonable thing to do when "real" zombies are running around (as in, current pop culture zombies who rise from the dead after being bitten/infected), it won't help much in this world because the bodies aren't needed to make someone a servant.<br /><br /><br />I don't know that much about voodoo zombies, but it was something along the lines of "some voodoo master makes the undead come back to life as mindless creatures bound to his will", maybe? I suppose there are similarities to servants, but still, almost all depictions of zombies are of mindless creatures without any higher thought, let alone any sense of self (I know two movies/books that avert this, so it's not completely universal, but "mindless creature" is what most people think of when they hear "zombie"). Servants still retain their personality and are not mindless. To me, that's the most important difference between zombies and servants.Ankounoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3731978491355560966.post-36910972553946528022014-07-03T18:34:59.993-04:002014-07-03T18:34:59.993-04:00Ah, never mind then.Ah, never mind then.darius404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3731978491355560966.post-46829379917559693742014-07-03T14:10:24.890-04:002014-07-03T14:10:24.890-04:00Ah, no, that's not true.

On the other hand, every servant died before becoming a servant, and no servant (we have seen) still bears the wounds of their death, so reapers do have a certain capability to restore their servants to a state from before.<br /><br /><br />Maybe Frosty is willing to enlighten us.Ankounoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3731978491355560966.post-42148694011106210992014-07-01T16:45:23.296-04:002014-07-01T16:45:23.296-04:00I think it was said earlier in the story we were t...I think it was said earlier in the story we were told that the body has to be relatively intact for the person to become a servant.

I'm pretty sure having someone's soul is enough to make them a servant, so destroying their body wouldn't do anything. And I'm not sure servants can destroy the souls of the recently deceased. If you really want to make sure that someone won't come back, it's probably best to kill them under controlled circumstances and have a trustworthy reaper ferry their soul.Ankounoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3731978491355560966.post-78077659013838598672014-07-01T03:59:16.309-04:002014-07-01T03:59:16.309-04:00"find a way"? It's called "beco..."find a way"? It's called "becoming a servant", and we really, REALLY don't want that. If/when he dies I'd incinerate the body. I'm surprised it's not more of a common practice (at least for enemies) in their world considering anyone who dies could be raised in that manner. Who knows, maybe it is. Atreya's citizenry isn't particularly wise in the ways of the undead.darius404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3731978491355560966.post-74029768642596089922014-06-30T21:31:42.956-04:002014-06-30T21:31:42.956-04:00Then find a way to ressurect him so that you can d...Then find a way to ressurect him so that you can do it againDustnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3731978491355560966.post-77129310726432385812014-06-30T21:16:09.750-04:002014-06-30T21:16:09.750-04:00Messing with the money....
