Pulvere Imortuus

Pulvere Imortuus directly translates to "rotting baby". It is a phenomenon in which the mother dies few days before giving birth to a baby. Under such conditions, it is said that the body should be cremated and not buried, because the child may be born regardless of the circumstances. Most people believed it to be a myth, but around 300 years ago it was found that a child was born despite the death of the mother. The first thing that he was greeted to was the body of his mother and a closed casket. With no concept of what is right and what is wrong the first natural instinct of survival kicked in, resulting in the mother's corpse becoming a means of a first meal. It took a few days before the baby could dig its way out to the open air. Despite the efforts of making it to the surface, the baby was greeted with death immediately. Because of its unnatural birth process, the immunity system of the baby did not function normally and its skin started burning as soon as it came in contact with the sun, resulting in a painful death. This phenomena often happens during the S.U.P.E.R. Eclipse, and Psych Pomp is used to guide the soul of the child into the next world.

To avoid the repetition any such unfortunate events, the government passed a law stating that all deceased must be cremated and not buried.
