Grave of Hallowed Hero's
The sept’s graveyard consists of a small clearing near the entrance to a cave. In the center of the clearing is a very large tree, marked with glyphs and symbols honoring the sept’s fallen. There are a few hand carved wooden benches so that people may sit and reflect, and in the spring and summer the area is alive with native flora.
The cave entrance is partially covered with vines and moss, making it difficult to spot, but there none the less. Once inside, the stone tunnels are lit with a luminescent blue glow that is peaceful and soothing. The main walkway is through a tunnel of water, though it is not overly deep there is a near serene peace about it for those that are there with pure intentions and almost a lingering untold depth for those that would bring it harm.
There are several tunnels that offshoot to different rooms. The rooms are all very similar. Simple stone walls, shelves carved into them. One the shelves are small urns of various materials. Some stone, some metal, or ceramic, some are ornate, others simple, but they all reflect the personality of the fallen whose ashes they house. The names of the fallen are carved into the shelves. The rooms are well maintained and cleaned, and offerings left for the dead, flowers, or food and drink.
At the deepest point in the tunnel there is a larger cave with a deep, dark pool of cool water. Along the walls are more carved out rooms, and this is where the greatest of the septs heroes are laid to rest in simple caskets of stone, their most prized possessions with them
Keturah, a gurahl, is the local keeper of the Hallows, always watchful and making sure it is always respected.
