It's tradition. The pagans used to burn their dead. Christian burial is how we operate. I think other religions do, as well. It's how we respect their passing. Something about returning dust to dust.

[ D'Artagnan mostly takes religion as it comes. It doesn't play a huge role in his life, but he was raised in a place permeated by religion. It's left its mark on him. He after all gave his father a Christian burial. ]

I take it you don't have demon problems in your world?

[mousquetaire]

You guess correctly. Not that I know of, anyway. What would demons do with the dead?

[whathawksdo]

An empty body is easy to possess, no matter what state it's in.
Most demons choose a corpse over the trouble of a mage.

[mousquetaire]

Then, no. I wouldn't say that's a problem we have.

Superstitious people might tell you otherwise, but I've never seen it.

[whathawksdo]

You come from a refreshingly dull world, did you know that?

[mousquetaire]

It never seemed dull when I was there, honestly, but I'll keep that in mind. I wonder what you'd think of it if you were there.

[whathawksdo]

In theory, I could got to Paris right now and let you know.
Although that one isn't the one you mean, is it?

[mousquetaire]

No. I can’t account for what sort of mess it’s in here. I mean my Paris, my home.
I don’t even know what I’d think of what it looks like now.

[whathawksdo]

It has a giant iron tower in the middle of it now.
Or was that there before?

[mousquetaire]

A tower? I don't remember anything of the sort.

If you mean a bell tower, Notre Dame has been standing for three hundred years, but she's not made of iron.

[whathawksdo]

Then it isn't that.
All I know is it looks very tall.
It's in almost every picture of Paris I've ever looked up.

[mousquetaire]

[ That’s discomforting. Could Paris truly have changed so much? ]

Show me, the next time we see each other. Perhaps it’s new.
