Definition

The zamgrh word Barhah is a concept which does not share a ready cognate in English, but can roughly be explained as a "spirit of zombie warriors in brotherhood." It also connotes the longed-for Zombie State in which the undead feast on human flesh unmolested by torture or vivisection. Barhah is considered the dream of zombie hive mind, and the rallying cry of many lumbering corpses.

Controversy and Fundamentalism

"Barhah is anti-life. Life is anti-barhah. The rot is barhah. The needle is anti-barhah."
-- Jorm, The "Prophet of True [Fundamentalist] Barhah"

Though it is difficult in the extreme to pin down a singular meaning, there is a strong core of what can be deemed 'barhah fundamentalism', typically espoused by larger hordes - seemingly tying the notion of barhah and hive mind together. Though sharing a mutual abhorrence for survivors and the trappings of life, the individual notions of how to practice this anti-life mentality differ. However, the predominant custom revolves around a sense of ever-moving nomadism, rejecting the notion of 'settlement' as a survivor folly. This line of fundamentalist thought completely rejects the possibility that Barhah can be understood, or partaken in, by the living, or even those practicing death cult practices. The logical conclusion of barhah fundamentalism is the embracing of Brain Rot as a rite of passage.

Some believe that living humans are not excluded from sharing in the vision of Barhah. Though such mutual understanding is rare, it is possible for a man and a zombie to experience a taste of Barhah in unison.
