Ebonrest is the solemn and eerie necropolis of Altoria, where the honored dead rest in eternal silence. This district serves as the city’s final resting place, filled with ancient mausoleums, crypts, and graveyards. Shrouded in perpetual mist and shadow, Ebonrest is a place of reverence, where citizens come to pay respects to their ancestors and reflect on the city’s long history. The district is not just a burial ground but also a place steeped in tradition, mystery, and lingering secrets, where the boundary between the living and the dead feels thin.

Ebonrest’s architecture is hauntingly beautiful, with grand mausoleums carved from dark stone, adorned with intricate reliefs and statues of weeping angels and guardians. The district’s narrow streets wind through rows of ancient tombs, where ivy creeps along the weathered stones. Tall, wrought-iron fences surround family plots, while grandiose crypts belonging to noble houses tower above the rest. Lanterns flicker dimly along the cobblestone paths, casting long shadows that dance with the mist. The center of the district is marked by a towering obelisk, inscribed with the names of Altoria’s most revered figures.

A heavy, respectful silence hangs over Ebonrest, broken only by the occasional sound of rustling leaves or the distant toll of a bell. The air is cool and damp, with the scent of earth and old stone. The district’s mist never fully lifts, giving the area an otherworldly feel. Despite the somber atmosphere, Ebonrest is not devoid of activity; priests, mourners, and those tending graves can be found quietly moving through the district. Rituals and ceremonies are regularly held to honor the dead, ensuring that the spirits remain at peace. At night, the district takes on a more mysterious tone, with rumors of restless spirits and forgotten crypts enticing the brave—or the foolish.
