"It is not dead. Perhaps it cannot die. Its remaining substance is mottled with invisibility, patches of it fading, then returning, only to fade again. Its many-boned claw-fingers still move languidly, as if stroking a cat."[1]
The Undeparted are mysterious creatures that roam the dark parts of Eleutheria, eternally stuck between life and death. Most of their flesh and skin had been flensed from the body,[2] their eye sockets were forcefully stuffed with precious gemstones,[3] and their bones were all twisted into a single Correspondence sigil:Two Futures, Endlessly Circling.[4]
The Undeparted are never truly alive or dead; Parts of their bodies can momentarily vanish from existence at random, but their presence can never be truly erased, even if their physical body is completely destroyed- the Undeparted will eventually reform again.[5][6]
In the distant past The Undeparted were masterful builders who built the grand roads that once criss-crossed Eleutheria. Their current state being a result of a job half done- they were meant to be sacrificed on the funeral pyre of the King who Speaks. However, The King's Twin had turned his attention to other matters, and so The Undeparted's purpose was never fulfilled and they became forever stuck between life and death.[7]
