Soldier's Rest

Purpose / Function

After many lives lost during the war, which parts of the Confederacy claim was avoidable, the Esen Confederacy sought to honor the memory of those who died or were simply missing in action. The memorial was erected one year after the Steel Treaty was signed, in the crown jewel of the Confederacy no less.

Architecture

The memorial is made of many granite name plates, finely cut, polished, and finished, and suspended by a magical field. The plaque commemorating and giving details on the war can be used to call up certain names to be shown. On September 28th, all the name plates are called out of the long shaft they reside in and form a larger orb floating above the memorial park. The names are read aloud. It takes the whole day to read them all.

History

The artist who was commissioned to create the piece has chosen to remain anonymous. Rumors say the memorial was originally requested to glorify the sacrifices made, but the idea was fiercely fought against by the creator.

Tourism

Many veterans, their families, and those who had loved ones lost in the war, are often seen at the memorial. School children are brought to see it from time to time, to learn the history of their nation. It is not uncommon to see someone taking charcoal to parchment over a nameplate, seeking to bring the name of a particular fallen home with them.
