Sacred Flesh is an Amarrian religious belief that royal flesh is sacred. It is an important doctrine of the Scriptures.
The most notable consequence of the doctrine is the restriction against the cloning of any member of a royal family; this includes the Five Heirs and the Emperor. Cloning is believed to make the sacred flesh impure.[1] Because of this, the deaths of the heirs following the Shathol'Syn is permanent.
Despite the importance of the doctrine, it has been violated more than once. Keral, a member of the Ardishapur Family, was cloned by his mother Bethora after his death in a racing accident.[2] In addition, Jamyl I was cloned after performing Shathol'Syn and later returned to become Empress. Though there was initial controversy surrounding her return[3], it died down in the months following her election as Empress, and it is now publicly claimed that her return was due to divine intervention.
Significantly, it is only a full clone that is considered impure. Regrowing flesh from a living portion of the original is not considered a violation of the doctrine.[4]
