==== ''Reverence of the Bones'' ====
For Soris’ plan to work the bodies must stay relatively intact. Simple jobs and minor damage to the body is fine, even natural in the opinion of Soris’ other necromancers. However a sword to the chest would once again make the body unsuitable for soul habitation. This is why the Qis have adopted a principle known as reverence of the bones.

They seek to maintain their undead in the best conditions possible. People are to treat the undead with respect. Not as living people but as expensive artwork or a family pet. This also means that the Qis do not use their undead in battle unless absolutely necessary. A body lost means a soul that will never be brought back.

''Useful People''

With so many undead laborers, Qis values “useful people.” Those without advanced skills are dead weight within the nation. People are pushed to find work in things that the undead cannot do. However, since most citizens cannot leave the country itself, these skills are hard to obtain. In recent decades, to the horror of the Eshai Caliphate, Qis agents have been kidnapping students from the Siyar. They force these students to teach the unskilled citizenry before being sent to the Western work camps.
