A mighty river, its waves so wide, a foul stench drifts from either side.
Su Ze gazed at the great river before him. The water was murky and littered with floating trash. 'This is the legendary Holy River?' he thought.
Su Ze had long heard tales about this Holy River, so sacred in the eyes of the Luofan people. He'd heard many legends about the Brahma River.
It was said that the Luofan people loved to bathe in the Brahma River, wash their clothes on its banks, and dump their daily household waste—even the contents of their chamber pots—into its waters. Industrial wastewater was also discharged directly into it.
Even more absurdly, their funerary culture dictated that they soak corpses in the river before cremation, after which they would scatter the ashes into the Brahma River.
Some truly impoverished families would simply toss the bodies directly into the river, leaving them to bloat and decompose, becoming food for the mutated beasts of the Brahma River.
