I have passed some details about this on to someone or other in the Prax working group, in the presumption that it will be fleshed out in the proposed (but unfinished) "Resurrection of Genert" scenario.
In short (and I shan't give more details at them oment, mainly because they are not entirely worked out), the quester takes the skin to a sacred place that is variously called Skinland, Scrapland or So Sew Place. It is avoided by everyone at all costs, unless going there for this purpose. It's got a huge semicompleted skin of a huge hyena there.
Once the skin is done, should the stars be right and the rites be starred, then the Great Hyena herself will inhabit the stuffed skins and vomit up the body of Genert, which will then, perhaps, be able to be reconstructed.
Why Issaries and Etyries in this, a Praxian rite? It is because Issaries and his daughter promised to do this long ago, in return for being helped by some children of Genert who are themselves long-gone.
What? You say that YOUR Etyries isn't the daughter of Issaries? Well, perhaps (and I do say Perhaps) you are not subject to this particular curse. (Only your Narrator knows for sure...)

I do presume that this, like most Eurmali comments, was intended in grat jest. Sounds like it is from the mouth of Eurmal himself to equate the Trickster with one of the co-creators of the universe. Need I be more clear? OK: I do not find this comparision to be very strong.

It is, until, of course, some player heroes undertake it.
