As such, further protections needed to be created. In order to stop the [[souls]] from becoming corrupted and evil from the corruption of [[devils]], [[demons]], and [[dragons]], the city began to hire [[Spirit Wardens]], whose job was to process and destroy any bodies in the city in a special ceremony that kept the souls (or ghosts) of the deceased from returning to Quelmar. This was not always succesful though, and large enough ripples in the Ghost Field, such as during [[The Mother's Day Riots]], were still possible.
