Levendhvile
Insidious is the use of Levendhvile: for as it may save one's body from shock, the mind isn't safe. How many corpses filling the back of the auspice's graveyard must we need to make a scent so spreading the nobles start to realise how much harm it may cause outside of the trench? How many veterans begging in the streets for a simulacrum must be there so the authorities notices the problem is within our reach ?
