Description
The Demon Lord Jinahu is a creature consumed by an unquenchable hunger. When a mortal creature defies the taboo against eating the flesh of one's own people, they invite that hunger into themselves. When they go to their final rest, Jinahu's hunger traps them within their dead body and a new Ghoul is created.
The Curse of Forbidden Flesh does not end when the Ghoul is destroyed. The Hunger will call them and they will rise again tomorrow, growing a new body if necessary. Their torment will not end for them until their soul receives redemption. This is not always possible, so the most expedient solution generally is to put the body in a heavy sarcophagus with a lid that they can't lift and ignore the scratching sounds.
