The Essential Salts
Nile

The necromancers of GizanA cult of reanimatorsnConcerned with interrogation of the long deadnCorpses who may be revived and made to talknAnd describe the contents of rare booksnAnd gold hidden in the earthnAlthough they are often reluctant to reveal their secretsnAnd must be encouraged with fire and bladennA corpse chosen for resurrectionnIs cut into parts of convenient sizenBoiled in clean waternLinen strips of mummification are removednAnd the skull and bones liquefiednAnd boiled until all water is gonenWhat remains in the bottomnIs a white crystalline substancenThat may be carried in the palms of two handsnThis white powder contains the essential saltsnOf the man whose corpse was boilednIt is from this powder that the living body may be reconstitutednAnd made to serve as a house for the soulnWhich is called back into its former flesh by words of powernnIt is a great shock to the soulnTo tear it back from its resting place and reanimate itnThe resurrected are often insane and scream ceaselessly or dash themselves into wallsnIf the salts are contaminated with the essence of other living beingsnWhen the mummy has been the breeding place of verminnThe revitalization of the salts produces somethingnThat is part man and part whatever gnawed his corpsenThese horrors lack the faculty of speechnOr their speech is crazed and bestialnAnd must be immediately slainnFor though the memory of the man may remain intactnThe verminous parts of his reanimated naturenInhibit his human expressionnnThose who have served their purpose are killednBy strangulation with a cord around the necknAnd their bodies burnednTheir ashes gathered and cast into the NilenWhere the currents carry them to seann[solo: Karl]n[solo: Dallas] n
