Dari of the mists

The companies cast for indentures in different ways, but always to the same purpose. The Four Quarters Company’s nimble craft fish the newly dead from the waters with poles of blessed wood and ropes woven from widow-hair, leaving loops magically bound around their catch’s waists until she can buy or work herself free. The Blue Sarong Society sends divers in, gently helping the drowned onto the decks of gilded diplomatic craft where he will be dried and dressed in fine garments that bind him to the Society’s purposes. Most prosperous and fearful of all, the many-oared galleys of The Timeless Order of Manacle and Coin trawl for ghosts with clinging nets, shackling them while they’re still soaking. Such is the welcome Dari of the Mist offers the newly dead.
