exhume

Dig up the body of a dead noble in a graveyard. If no argument is given, a random body will be recovered. Otherwise, only the specified dead noble will be exhumed. Bodies of nobles are not available for exhuming until the turn after they have died.

When nobles die, they are buried in a nearby graveyard. A dead body exists for one game year, at which point it fully decomposes, whether it has been exhumed or remains in the grave.

Exhumed bodies may sometimes be brought back to life by priests, and are used by Necromancers for evil purposes.
