It seems that there are no longer any more bodies being placed atop silos.  There's still occasionally another discovered, but the rate has dropped significantly.

It's clear that the bodies have stopped being placed, or is at least being placed an order of magnitude less.



However, a new Mercalan prayer can be heard at dawn in these same areas, this prayer is not one from any normal holy book.  While regional prayers are commonly not in a holy book, it is rare for a prayer to crop up in simultaneously in many areas.

"Blessed be Mercala, who's grace is as golden as the wheat we sow.  Just as this single grain may be the seed that blossoms from the ground and spreads food, may our lives be the seed that blossoms forth and spreads your joy and harmony to all.  As dawn reaches xanthosis, so too does our prayer.  To you, in your golden light of dawn, we ask of you, give us the chance to show your mercy to both those who do not know it, and those who mistakenly inhibit it's spread.  Amen."

It's not a lot of people giving this prayer, but enough to be notable.
