Private Kayragh,

Nashira, a friend of mine is dead. I am told she fell to abominations in the sewers, but I was also told this my Mandarin, Anthany and Bug. Mandarin claims she is a loyal follower of the Primordial Ooze, and is thus entitled to a proper final ceremony of the Ooze.

I know she was not a follower of the Ooze. She denounced the faith the day of her death, with myself and a few others. Mandarin will dishonor her body with his ceremony, and I wish to see that avoided. Perhaps she can be ressurected, or at the least, I will bury her in the Wilds in the lands she protected.

I would ask you to see what can be done to legally stop Mandarin before he does this; Time is short and there is perhaps less than a day left until he acts.

Does any man have the rights to hold a religious ceremony over a deceased whom he is not related to? What is further, is it allowed for a woman who was not of his faith?

See if anything can be done and I will be in your debt.

Thank you,

Ivandur Reynolt

Ivandur,

I am sorry, there can not be found anything in the town's Lawbook about situations like this. I will make inquieries though on your behalf, to find out if there is anything that can be done in a situation like this.

Ivandur,

unless your friend wrote a will and stated in it, what she would like to be done with her body after her death, there is no legal way to claim it. I am sorry, this is how it is in the law.

Private Kayragh

Private,

So the law states that whomever wishes to handle the body may do so?

If Mandarin has the remains and I wish to procure them and he will not relinquish them, what shall I do if the Law will do nothing?

Going from what you have said; Neither of us have rights to the body.

Ivandur

Ivandur,

The Law states that each individual's body belongs to that individual. In a will one can state what one wishes to be done to one's body after death.

It does not say in the Law, that if there are witnesses to prove what a person wished to do with it after death, what can be done then. But if you would want to make a case out of this, and try and get a change to the law, you could proceed it to the council.

I would advice you to contact Mandarin Dreagle with these witnesses you mentioned, and ask him to give up the body. Though the deed of burial might have been done already, it has been days you wrote me the first time.
