Hi, gang.  Last week, we began our discussion of one of the most fundamental aspects of a mummy’s existence — his fivefold soul. Today, we continue that discussion with a look at the most important game element derived from the fivefold soul: the decree. During the Rite of Return, its subject truly died.
