Every culture has its religious zealots and social nonconformists, and the Pleoqs were no different. Not everyone honored the Demiurge and paid respects to the Demiurge’s counterpart, the First Half. The Maze Cult was one such faction. Its members believed that a trickster-hero named Ixbal was the true entity behind creation, and that Ixbal used the disguise of the Demiurge to make and unmake the solar system, based on divine whim. The members of the Ixbal sect believed that the war with the C2s was their god’s anger made manifest, and only by subverting modern society could the cultists appease their deity. The Ixes, as they were known, sought to deliver a course correction to the Pleoq way of life by meddling with their longest-held tradition. The Ixes disinterred and reburied the dead in the incorrect places.
The impact of this rearranging of the dead was profound. The Ixes were considered terrorists by many Pleoqs, as the Arrur and the Chifra moieties had always been buried separately, in specific places, according to the oldest tradition of their religion. The Demiurge’s decree was violated every time the cult of Ixbal removed a Chifra body from the Land of Graves and deposited it in the Arrurs’ Sepulcher City. Most Pleoqs believed that the souls of those not properly entombed would be torn apart during their journey through the afterlife, long before they were permitted to rejoin the original creator, the First Half.
In the final days of the war against the C2s, the Pleoq authorities no longer had the resources or motivation to arrest and prosecute the Ixes, so grave-switching ran rampant up until the End Times, when Ixbal finally destroyed all of creation. Of course, all of creation was not destroyed, and now the PCs can deal with the aftermath of the Ixes’ weird religion. After death, most of the cultists — having not received a proper burial — were transformed into undead who use mournful songs to confuse and demobilize all within earshot.
Undead Horror: The Land of Graves is extremely dangerous to explore. Some of the dead have not found easy rest, and they’ve clawed their way up through the dirt. They now roam freely as undead horrors.

Undead Husk: Chief among them is what he calls necromantic bathing, in which Al’Gurbed animates the bather’s dead skin so it walks right off of their bodies, carrying off dead skin and callouses so that only pink, healthy skin remains behind. Although gruesome, many of Uramesh Ever After’s living clients applaud the company’s uniqueness, displaying a fascination with the company’s unique use of death magics for profitable ends.
Easily among the most macabre of baths, a necromantic bath utilizes necromantic magic to remove dead skin and dirt. After guiding the client into a ritual chamber, a trained mystic, instructs the client to fully immerse themselves into a vat of viscous, red liquid that strongly resembles blood. Once immersed, the attendant uses necromantic magic to animate the client’s dead skin, hair, and other organic refuse into an undead husk that sloughs itself—and any dirt on the client—down a drainage pipe.

Starfarer Adversaries: Cannibal Clowns from Outer Space
Starfinder
Cannibal Clown From Outer Space: No one knows where the Grimaldi Strain came from. Part nanite swarm, part viral infection, part curse, part Ungol dust, the dreadful material just began appearing as a mysterious residue in reports. Reports of abandoned hospitals, burned orphanages, and blood-soaked circus tents. Report of places that had been destroyed. Torn apart. Consumed.
By Cannibal Clowns. From Outer Space.
The Grimaldi Strain is a technomagical microscopic material that turns humanoids, and sometimes other creatures, into clown-faced, pseudo undead, flesh-eating horrors.
The best guess is that the Grimaldi Strain was designed as some kind of hybrid prototype to weaponize civilian populations, and the ridiculous clown theme all creatures infected by it are transformed into was selected simply to make it easy to determine if the Strain was having any effect on test populations. If that IS its origin the joke is on the creators, whoever they are, because the Strain clearly broke loose from its testing conditions and has become a serious threat throughout the galaxy.
Thankfully, the Grimaldi Strain is not easily transmitted from one creature to another. Only helpless victims that have been held by cannibal clowns for a week or more can be infected with the Grimaldi Strain. When a creature is transformed by the Grimaldi Strain, it undergoes a genetic and magical transformation. It becomes a clownlike creature, though the exact type of clown varies based on many factors including the race of the victim, the original race of the cannibal clown, local weather, and what’s popular on any nearby infosphere broadcast.
Cannibal Clown Buffoon: Once transformed, regardless of what style of clown it is, the creature becomes a Buffoon, the lowest-rank of cannibal clown.
Cannibal Clown Tramp: Buffoons often don’t eat for weeks, but once they do, they become Tramps.
Cannibal Clown Wiseguy: At some hard-to-define tipping point of experience and gluttony, a Tramp becomes more horrifically twisted (and often larger), and turns into a Wiseguy.
