MacConnell
Creator of The Untamed Wilds
Cycle: 497. Season: Rebirth. Day: 17
Suitable, sturdy sticks are eventually located and the youths begin to move one of the stones. It is extremely heavy and the leverage must be adjusted a few times before it can be pushed free of what it is covering. It is covering a shaft that descends into the earth and appears to open into a subterranean room. Dropping down into the room would be a simple matter for anyone in the party, but there is no ladder and no apparent manner to climb back out.
Wanting to explore the buried rooms, the adolescents eventually determine that, since Ceo is the smallest, she can drop herself into the room and the other can use rope to lift her back out. Once inside the room, she realizes that she cannot see and is delayed in her searching for a moment until she realizes that she can mystically cause her own hand to glow. The glow is far better than any illumination produced by a flame, because it does not flicker.
Though no one is familiar with the term or the practice, the room is a tomb that holds two corpses laid side by side on tables in its center. Various items and pottery jars adorn low shelves along the walls and the walls are covered with paintings that seem to be aspects of the dead couple’s life. The corpses are almost a full stride taller than Falcon, who is the tallest in the party. No living people are this tall; and after taking the time to move all four stones and explore the rooms underneath, the youths come to the conclusion that they have discovered buried Yahdrams.
This practice of burial is completely foreign to any modern practice. All civilized Mhytres bury their dead, but they do not entomb them. The bodies are laid bare within the dirt so that the earth can reclaim them as it originally gave them. Aedamans burn their dead, believing that as the body returns to dust, the spirit is freed to move own. The Faethrins place their corpses on biers hung high in the trees so that the spirit can more readily be carried away on the wind. Once the body is reduced to bones, the bones are taken down, crushed, and cast about the ground. It is decided that the Yahdram must have held some strange beliefs.
