: As far as we know, he was just burnt, his ashes mixed
: with salt, and buried under the "legendary
: Mountains of Kor in the Untamed Lands."

: And, incidentally, we don't know that the original Moagim
: was beheaded. He was just drawn and quartered. There
: have been assorted arguments on the Asylum about
: whether this quartering would include beheading or
: not. There are definitions and traditions running both
: ways.

Just to make sure, but quartering is were the arms and legs of a person are each tied to a seperate horse facing opposite directions. The horses are then spooked and they go charging off with each limb right? Saw this in a couple of movies including that cheesey Chris Farley one. Don't know if its right, but I guess thats the question! :) If this is the way it is done then what happend to his torse?

: Personally, I don't think he was beheaded, just because
: it would seem too weird that this was overlooked
: several times in official descriptions: "They
: sent the quarters of the body to the corners of the
: Earth, and the head...uh...went away." If there
: was any question of the head being left behind, say to
: survive a few thousand years and turn up as a
: deceitful counselor to the Nine, I think it'd have
: been addressed by now. Plus, I'm not sure what would
: be left of a Leveller's mind or spirit after the
: transient divinity vacated its body.
