The Prideful

The Sin of the Prideful is a selfish sin in Yoltrund punishable in Hekehldahr.

About
The sunners of the Prideful are those who's own pride or desire to be greater than their peers lead to selfish decisions. They thought they were above all law and were untouchable. While pride to an extent is acceptable to Arylos, an overwhelming sense of pride that results in harming or putting down of others is unacceptable.

Punishment
The Prideful are buried in the ground head first with their feet sticking out of the ground to the mid-thigh as acid rain falls from the sky and onto their exposed soles. The most heinous of the Prideful have their feet gnawed and picked at by ravens.

Brand
"The Sin of Pride, where one is consumed by their pride and glory that they overshadow their bretheren."

Described by the King
"Ah, one of Pride? So you think you're better than myself, do you? Hahahaha! Fools like you amuse me. It is always a pleasure to have those like you in my collection. Your Pride consumes you, making you feel stronger than you are. You think yourself wiser and stronger than even the most powerful kings. Than the most powerful Gods. And that Pride turns you into a monster."

Trivia

 * The punishment of the Prideful is a reference to a saying used frequently by Arylos; "War is the natural process in which the Strong devour the flesh of the Weak and the Weak put the Strong in their place." The prideful thought they were above all in life, and so in death, they are put beneath the very ground with their soles, a possible play on words for souls, are battered by acid rain.
