By building a statue in the likeness of a creature who had died, the holy powers that be could see that someone on Quelmar could vouch for (aka loved) the departed, giving them a form of holy credit, and allowing the gods to trust that soul enough to grant it passage into the afterlife. In context of the Hermes Seal, this is incredibly important, as most souls who died were quite literally locked out of heaven for an indeterminate amount of time. |
