Buriers

The Buriers are a largely Bone Gnawer kinfolk religious group that believe by burying items, even broken ones, they will be waiting for them in the afterlife.

Overview

A religious cult exists among the Bone Gnawer Kinfolk that draws its beliefs from ancient history. They believe, as did many ancient peoples, that you could take it with you. The tombs of the pharaohs and other important Egyptians, among other cultures, contained many possessions to enrich the afterlife of the tomb’s inhabitant. Some Bone Gnawer Kin, since they usually lack material resources in life, believe in an afterlife that provides them with what they have missed.

To this end, Buriers take to the streets on trash nights or hang around landfills to find objects (even broken ones) that they might like to have with them in the afterlife. At certain times during the year, a call goes out for the Buriers in a given area to unite at a certain spot, determined by a Kinfolk with the second sight. At this gathering, the stronger members dig a huge pit in the earth. The Buriers bring the items they have gathered to this meeting and, after labeling each item with the name of its owner, place their offerings in the pit. After some singing, dancing, and other festivities, the Kinfolk who dug the pit close it up, burying the items until such time as the departed spirit of the Bone Gnawer Kinfolk might need them. By then, the items will be in good repair and ready for the Bone Gnawer Kin to enjoy a comfortable life after death.
