The Cemetery District
The Cemetery District is a smaller section of the city dedicated to interring the deceased who can afford it.
Countless gravestones mark a row of rolling hills sectioned off by tall, iron fences, with mausoleums of more affluent families dotting the grassy hillsides. As surface space grew limited in centuries past, the city began excavating a network of catacombs called the Under vaults.
Inside of this district is the temple to The Matron of Ravens - The Raven Queen, a larger structure that looks like a mausoleum itself, citizens come to this temple to pay their respects to her upon the passing or immanent passing of a loved one.
Upkeep, expansion and general safeguarding of the sites are overseen by the Gravewatchers, a guild of families that has held political and social hegemony over the district for generations.
Recent excavation in the Under vaults was found to lead into the Crystalfen Caverns, and was promptly sealed off. This did not stop some members of the Gravewatchers from seeing an opportunity, however; passage is occasionally granted to the Clasp or others willing to pay for entry to the dangerous realm below.
