Editing The Undeparted

<blockquote>''"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."''<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.fandom.com/wiki/Terror#UnseenCorpseRoot|UnseenCorpseRoot|Sunless Skies|}}</ref></blockquote>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,<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.fandom.com/wiki/Undeparted|Find the Correspondence Sigil|Sunless Skies|}}</ref> their eye sockets were forcefully stuffed with precious gemstones,<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.fandom.com/wiki/Undeparted|Pry out its eyes|Sunless Skies|}}</ref> and their bones were all twisted into a single [[The Correspondence|Correspondence]] sigil:'''Two Futures, Endlessly Circling'''.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.fandom.com/wiki/Undeparted|Find the Correspondence Sigil|Sunless Skies|}}</ref>

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.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.fandom.com/wiki/Terror#UnseenCorpseRoot|UnseenCorpseRoot|Sunless Skies|}}</ref><ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.fandom.com/wiki/Terror#UnseenCorpseRoot|UnseenBurn|Sunless Skies|}}</ref>

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 [[Judgements#The King who Speaks|the King who Speaks]]. However, The King's [[The Halved|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.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.fandom.com/wiki/Undeparted|Order your engine closer and listen to its whispers|Sunless Skies|}}</ref><gallery widths="130">
