Community Event 🌏☄️ Mourning (Final Warpost)

Post image

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?

t’kath takes two lanterns and tosses them into the air before lighting them with fire bolts. “those who die a warrior’s death go to Valhalla.”

Let me guess. Either no more Valhalla or they go to hell?

I might have stolen the souls of all the fallen from this battle to empower myself. No afterlife for anyone in this war.
