Extinguisher's Dress / Reference Sheet

There are those, who deserve to die with honor: Tofar who feel the irrepressible inner fury that creeps through their facade of tranquility and refuse to succumb to it, the Heroes so great that they can’t die on the battlefield yet do not want to perish as pathetic old husks in self-soiled beds, and those who have failed the Realms through their own actions but earned a chance to worn away their sins in virtuous smothering. The Extinguishers are the Warm Embrace of Soft Death, the Last Motherly Hug, the Mammary Gate of Purgation. They act in likeness to what the Allmother tried to do with the Serpent when She met It for the first time – take away Its anger, pain, suffering and bring the peace of mind It never had.
Not all are worthy or able to commit themselves to this service – some renounce or get excommunicated in disgrace, becoming unworthy of ever being Embraced themselves. Yet once a Munele accepts the Veiling of the Extinguisher and swears a vow of celibacy, she remains forever in the silence and dimness of the Ruby Halls, barely aware of the world outside but only through righteous offerings, devoting oneself to a life as a vessels that absorbs infamy and brings mortal forgiveness to the Souls of others, until her own consciousness finally decides that she herself deserves to be Embraced in the Soft.
