Rynn Cormel had run the world during the Turn, his living…
““Rynn Cormel had run the world during the Turn, his living charisma somehow crossing the boundaries of death to give his undead existence an uncanny mimicry of life.

I figured it was because he was a politician and had had practice way before he died.””
