is the text in question. It's not an explicit explanation but the way it's written makes me think that it's implied that the eye consuming him is the cause of his body's unusual state post-mortem.Quote:
Archbishop Thordan VII: [The right eye of Nidhogg] has lain here, joined to the person of Haldrath, the first Azure Dragoon. For though he learned to harness its power, he was ultimately consumed by it. Even in death, his body decays not─a pitiful end for a fabled hero.
I never made that connection! You're right!
(alright, I accidentally didn't click quote so anyone can just pretend this post refers to their point). :P
