The Firilith Burial Mound
A large chunk of the cliff had been scooped away, leaving a floating green island within eyeshot, but without path save for a bridge. On the other side of the bridge, the ‘mound’ was nothing of the sort. Six sarcophagi had been set in a row, three on either side of a path leading to a small stone building—a shack, really, except that nothing constructed so deliberately could possibly be called one. Especially since the door was neither wood nor rock, but a modern material. It is opened with an anachronistic key set into a lock.
Inside there is another sarcophagus (Corel's). A holograph in the back is activated by the entrance of people, of Elsabet: "young, and lovely, and her expression was stern and yet suggested anguish." Her appearance also wakes dim lights along the join at floor and wall, and wall and ceiling.[1]
“Corel saved us, and all that mattered to the Queen was that he would have made a better monarch than she. But I have recorded this imperishable record so that his noble sacrifice will never be forgotten. One day, Firilith will be ruled again by a worthy liege, and on that day I expect the memory of Corel to surface and be cleared of its dishonor. I will not see that day. But it must come, for as God and Goddess are my witness, all injustice one day will perish beneath Their divine mandate, that truth alone must flourish in despite of evil’s attempts to suffocate it. “I am Elsabet, once Galare, no more. To history I commend my words. Do not forget!”[1]
