    bitter from the manner of death

    I always wonder about that. To modern sensibilities ritual sacrifice doesn’t immediately sound like a great way to go out, but you’d usually get a fancy outfit, some really good food, and probably some hallucinogens.

    As an option that wasn’t disease, starvation, or festering spear wounds it probably wasn’t the worst that could happen.
