Not sure ive been trying to find out to

well, in the "why are the gods so mortal?" discussion MrLlama posted a poem about the corpse which i suspect may be a hint, in case you haven't seen it yet i will save you the hassle and with the power of copy + paste here it is:

In the endless void, there slumbers a force so dire,
That should it stir, all existence will expire.
Hidden in shadow, its power unknown,
Wake it but once, and all will be overthrown.

i have done some experiments in the void to test my hypothesis that its linked to the corpse but its been difficult. i think the furthest i got was making a light the size of the map, placing it at the top and letting it fall, it got deleted before it was even halfway down, might be something, might be nothing but at any rate thats my two cents on the matter

Hmmm ok, the rot and the corpse might be related in some way
