Burial Rites

Burial in the Dark Mountains

When a person dies, the family and friends of the deceased brings the body up the Path of Judgment to the City of the Dead. This road, located in every inhabited valley, ends at the gate of the City of the Dead, guarded by a Praetor of the valley. He questions those present about the life of the deceased person, asking whether their life was in service to their Lord. If the deceased was found guilty of any crimes, it is asked whether or not they were atoned for. If the dead is found to be honorable, they are taken inside.

Rites and Honors Due in Quietus

This is a brief synopsis of the original text. It should be noted that a Justicar is normally required for all these services. The lone possible exception of course is a funeral pyre (for obvious reasons). I write this not because I have made a study of the dead, but because I have had extensive experience in fighting them.
