I'd like to actually visit one of those shrines.

But I'll admit I've never placed much stock in this idea of spirits or ghosts, and a supposed afterlife. Even the stories from smugglers about how the nomads can mess with your mind has always seemed like an exaggeration of reality. Having faced down more than a few in recent history, I can safely say that killing them is a quiet affair.

For one, they don't talk. So there's no unnecessary profanity going back and forth before shots are exchanged. Come to think of it, they can't communicate at all. So that has the tragic side effect of there being no screaming when they do die. For that reason, it can be quite dull confronting them. Doesn't stop people I personally know and consider reliable from spinning tall tales about having visions when they encounter them. But from the benefit of personal experience, or rather the lack of it, I know none of that's actually true.

Still, they always seemed so convinced of what they'd seen or heard. A bit odd in hindsight.
