Waiting mortuary

So, I was watching Lore today, and I'm not sure if either of these things mesh with Cogg- But they're interesting, nonetheless.

Death wasn't a science way back when, so the fear of waking up in a coffin six feet below the ground- was a terrifying thought for both the not-so-deceased and their loved ones. So there were, at one point, 'waiting mortuaries' filled with flowers to try and disguise the scent of the area- where corpses would be left until putrefaction set in, incase they weren't quite dead yet.

Another bit of lore - The spirit at one point was referred to be the 'enemis' (although, I can't find the spelling or a reference for it for the life of me. So if someone else spots it, let me know.)

Anyway, not sure if it meshes, but- idea.

Perhaps "animas", not the psychology term described by Carl Jung, but the older definition of the word meaning "soul" or "life".

That very well could be it. Thank you!

Mistral Lake has one of these! I think they'll be fairly common in population centers, serving as areas to bring corpses as they await a possible resurrection (once those abilities are added). Seems to make sense for that.
