Morr’s Field

To the northwest of Ubersreik lies the town’s graveyard, Saint Morr’s Field. It is surrounded by tall and crumbling stone walls, religious buildings being exempt from the bylaws. Within lie the graves and ravenstones of Ubersreik. Mass graves for paupers, single plots for the middle-classes, and great mausoleums for the wealthiest families in town. Additionally, there is a shrine to Saint Morr, a holy man devout to Neira, goddess of death and mourning, which is attached to a larger hall, used by the Mourners’ Society, an informal group of locals who offer solace to the grieving.

Schadrach Bürke is the ranking priest of Neira, the Goddess of Death. Bürke is a tall, angular man with a long nose and a mournful aspect. He rarely leaves the Field, and has little Human contact, save when comforting those who have lost loved ones, or issuing instructions to his two gravediggers, Ewald and Oswald.
