Giving Death Meaning

A fragile, crystalline silence filled the air after Zedya's pronouncement that she had come to speak for the fallen. Her appearance alone made it clear that she took the role very seriously, but there was something more to her entrance that gave everyone pause. 

The coffins carried into the proceeding came in many different sizes and reflected the different traditions of their people. Even on short notice, the honored dead deserved to be cared for in a way that recognized who they were in life. 

Four of the coffins were simple but effective daybeds. While they lacked the comfort of the darksteel lined vaults that Nyrielle or Zedya used, the vampire's of Tausau's Mongrel Horde couldn't travel without them and now that they had fallen, their bodies couldn't risk exposure to sunlight, and so those very daybeds became their place of rest until Tausau could bring them home for their final rest.
