Absorb any sub-rules of the rule “Mortals” into the text of the rule proper, as new paragraphs.

If the rule “Mortals” describes mortals as having Status (one of “Child”, “Adult”, or “Dead”), and if the phrase “all Mortals become Dead” appears in the rule “Ages,” replace that phrase with

all Adult Mortals become Dead, and all Child Mortals become Adult

If the sentence “A mortal with a status of “Child” must have the Spouse blank.” appears in the rule “Mortals,” replace it with

A mortal with a status of “Child” may neither have a Spouse nor be another mortal’s Spouse.
