Such violent acts can inspire a surprising range of emotions. Feelings like grief, disgust and shame are to be expected, but these negative reactions are often mirrored by a sense of intimacy and wonder. Holding a severed head in your hands, even cutting off another person’s head, can be a thrill. Owning somebody else’s head can be a fascinating and deeply moving experience. It can be an expression of respect or an act of abuse, or both at once. People invariably treat severed heads as prized possessions, since they are hardly commonplace objects. Whether as a religious relic, a pseudo-scientific icon, an artist’s muse or a soldier’s memento mori, countless human heads have been transformed into vessels for reverence.

THE BISHOPS' MESSAGE

lore-ish info / ramble:

I LITERALLY FORGOT I DONT HAVE DESIGNS FOR ANY OF THE BISHOPS :SOBBB: SO I DREW THEIR WORSHIPERS INSTEAD HAHURJRJKFJKJKE FORGIVE ME So, when lambi dies, their body doesn't dissapear. Unlike mortals, their body is not needed for a resurrection to occur. Their body is recreated by Narinder (or as I revealed previously, a ritual by their most devoted followers)

It's common to find Lambi's skulls and body parts mutilated or strung up at old faith bases. When Lambi dies, it's almost like an out-of-body experience. They are witnessing themselves get killed each time. They feel the illusion of third person as they watch their body get dragged away to be dismembered, before their soul is returned to Narinder with the crown itself. I could speculate that the old faith cultists have probably tried eating Lambi, for some kind of ritual. I don't think it worked very well. As we know the old faith lost in the end.
