Shadetrail

While the empire of Zukei rejects much of Elzveir’s continental culture and actively operates in its anthesis, even its denizens have respect for Asuliad as the god of death. Because of this, they have constructed one location where those who wish to pay respects to Asuliad and those who have fallen may do so: Shadetrail. Less a building and more a nature reserve, Shadetrail is a stretch of forest between the cities of Hebino and Mondtau where the dead are laid to rest in any way fitting to those who bring them there.

Due to the lack of clerical service and protection over the funeral rites that take place in Shadetrail, it has become haunted by restless spirits who have failed to pass on to Asuliad’s Divine Realm, making it an increasingly dangerous place. Even still, it is the only place devoted to Asuliad in all Zukei, so those who truly wish to pay respects to their dead in religious fashion must brave the haunted trail of death.
