The Skojb people of Skobblgy view death as a formidable predator. She is a relentless huntress. Life itself is a constant chase, fleeing from death. When one finally succumbs, it is said that the race has ended. When possible, a solemn ceremony is held for the dead and the funerary rights are given. But The Huntress was the victor, and her victory must be acknowledged and honored. A second ceremony is held by the Cult of The Huntress wherein a ceremonial arrow is put through the heart of the dead. The eyes are removed and preserved before the body is butchered and its meat hand fed to carnivorous beasts symbolic of death’s predatory nature. Though brutal, this practice is viewed as an acceptable way to honor the valiant fight to live and to reincorporate the body into nature. It promotes life from death, ensuring that there is more than suffering to come from loss. It also frees the soul from the grasp of The Huntress by releasing the dead from the chase and giving her the satisfaction of victory. The bones, once picked clean, are bound together by a red ribbon and are placed in a cubic box alongside the large skull and eyes. The complexity of the boxes decorations is most often dependent on wealth or significance, with those of high standing getting elaborately carved funeral boxes. Some especially expensive funerary boxes have sturdy glass windows and metal embellishments. In any case, the boxes are inevitably hidden under many layers of dirt and all decoration obscured.
