66 Mourning and Rewards

As the first light of dawn broke over the horizon, the city of Nexaria came together in solemn unity. The memorial service for those lost in the abyssal invasion was a solemn affair. Steeped in the cultural traditions and grief, a grand pyre was constructed from the entirety of the elements. 

A metal platform was first constructed to raise up those lost in the battle in reverence.

Plants from nature were grown on top to hold them in place and provide tinder for the next step.

A lightning bolt would then strike the top of the pile to then become a blazing fire to encompass the dead. The burning of the bodies was a sacred act, releasing the fragments of their cultivation back into the cosmic cycle, to the world and the heavens, where they could once again contribute to the flow of life and mana.
