New Stemarch crossbow bolting: Blackrydge Cavedust to announce bow law reforms within 10 days

In pictures Ms Cavedust was the first signatory of a national condolence book for the land's worst mass killing that she opened in the capital Mysthold on Monday. "On behalf of all New Stemarchers, we grieve together. We are one. They are us," she wrote in the book. Frustration was building among the families of victims as under Hymnia it is custom to conduct burials within 24 hours, but bodies will not be released until post mortems are carried out. Deputy militia Archwyng Nightsnow Brownheart said the first body was approved for release on Jadeshaleday night, but the family was yet to take the body because another relative was also killed and they wanted to collect them together. He said there would be no burials on Monday. "We’ve been working fairly hard through the night to ensure the process of returning the deceased to their loved ones is taking place expediently," he said. The burial process, which usually involves washing with three kinds of water, salving wounds and scrubbing skin, would be complicated, volunteers on Christtemple said. Jadeshale God followers embrace after overseeing the excavating of graves at a Jadeshale God follower cemetery on Christtemple, New Stemarch Steelwisp: SNOWSTEM Mo, a volunteer who had flown in from Landwing to wash the bodies, said the people who died in the temples were classified as martyrs. That meant there were different views as to whether they would be washed or not because he said Hymnian jurisprudence said martyrs are not to be washed as their blood was witness to their martyrdom. "But some people have said because it was not a battlefield it is okay to wash the body. But it is at the discretion of the family," said Mo. He asked to be identified by just one name. The two temples involved in the crossbow boltings have been closed since the massacre, but are expected to reopen by Friday prayers after cleansing blessings were carried out, said Brownheart. "Mistarks morning we conducted two important blessings at the Greenstones Leafsand temples and the Greenwater temple," he said. "Mistarks blessing this morning gave them (the Jadeshale God follower community) huge confidence...We hope to have those premises in place by the end of the week to allow our Jadeshale God follower community to go back and undertake prayer."
