Interesting rumors continue to abound about these corpses.

Some farmers are saying the bodies are some kind of ward against rot and decay.

Others are saying that disturbing these bodies are causing curses to befall the farms.

These rumors aren't consistent, but they all correlate around one thing: removing the body causes bad things to happen to the harvest.

And judging by how much grain was exported from farms reporting these bodies, perhaps there is some truth to that?



However, that's not the only development.

The same rumor about corpses that prevent food from rotting has sprung up, seemingly out of Law's End, spreading to Oniga. Some citizens are talking about how those corpses would improve shipping logistics, since Oniga relies heavily upon imported food to survive, but the feeling is far from universal. Many Onigans gag at the thought of intentionally shipping a human corpse with their grain.
