Memorial for the Fallen
Posted by Puffin on 04/23/18
Outside of Maelstrom a field is prepared. Under the orders of High Lord Victus, those dead in the actions at Stormwall and Setarco are buried - either their bodies, or some memento of them. Most importantly, each grave is marked with a sword. The cost is huge - but the field of the dead, fallen in war to the battle against the minions of Marin is a somber sight. Viewed from the battlements of the fortress, the swords glint in the light through the day - but it's said the best time to view the stately monument to the lost is just at dusk, when the colors of the sunset are viewed and reflecting in a thousand shimmering pieces of metal. It's a popular landmark, as is Victus' decision to pay a pension to the families of the lost. He shows in his own way his respect for their sacrifices, and the respect for the people of the Isles.
