✦ MADE SIMPLE
They're going to hire people full-time whose only job is to walk through the land and bury any bodies they find lying around, working alongside travelers who help out. They want to get the land completely clean. After seven months of this, they'll do a final sweep to make sure they didn't miss anyone.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Sometimes the cleanup after destruction takes dedication, time, and people willing to do the hard work.
