I see no need for there to be a _formal_ ranking of exarchates in Kralorela. All Exarchs are equal but some are more equal than others works perfectly fine for me.

If we are to adopt the Chinese parallel, being a soldier and having one's corpse fooled around with are both extremely horrible deads. So any notions like serving the Emperor after death would be ludicrous.

Special potions that give the corpse a semblence of life.

Poor IMO. However it is not uncommon for some women to rise above their social shackles.
