History

The Dust family are descended from one of the three champions of The Matron of Ravens named Dust. The three champions debated what to do with the body of a hero of a recent conflict, since it could not be maintained within a city for unknown reasons. The Matron of Ravens told them to seek instruction from The Wild Mother, saying she had taken what was hers already, and that she had no domain over the body that remained. The Wild Mother instructed Dust to take the remaining parts and burn it in a pool of magma in Kravaraad, where a kiln was to be built for The All-Hammer. The other two champions took parts of the body as gifts for The Change Bringer and The Arch Heart. The descendants of these heroes protect and care for their sacred locations to this day, occasionally making pilgrimages to the other families when the need is dire. All three families assist the families of those who have died with funeral rites, each burying the bodies in their own way, with the Dust family focusing on cremation.
