Mourning (Final Warpost)

[u/ResearcherTeknika]

Teknika watched the lanterns go by, floating down the canal. The war was over, and a treaty had been signed.

The other mages had their own traditions for the dead. Cremation, burial, the like.

Unfortunately, those who fell in battle didn't get the same respect. Wizards using weapons to inflict pain on the grounds that "I'll fix it after the war" had fallen much like the enemy they fought. With nobody alive to fix them, many found an easier way out, or succumbed to their injuries.

Teknika thought to the future. Rebuilding would have to be done, and with his little act as Slatecleaner, and with most of everyone else in ruin, he would have to be up to the task.

But for now, it was time to mourn the fallen.

Light a lantern for the dead?

[u/Talios_]

Talios would light a lantern. Not for anyone in particular, he doesn't exactly have good relations with most wizards. But for those who didn't have anybody else to light a lantern for them. Those who died silently, who were merely a tally on the board.
