The Graveyard

Overview of the recently dead and lost

Wife of Jasper Holloway, mother of Ivy Holloway.
Drowned mysteriously in the river near the mill under strange circumstances. Some claim she slipped, but others whisper of unseen hands pulling her under.
Memorial Text: "Beloved wife and mother, taken by the river's embrace. May the waters be gentler beyond."

Vanished while hunting in the deep forest, his bow and quiver later found snapped in two near a gnarled tree.
Memorial Text: "A hunter lost in the dark woods, where no trail leads home."

Formerly a kind-hearted healer of the village temple.
One night, she was found nailed to the temple doors, her body marked with arcane symbols. Father Lucian preached that it was the witches' doing, but others believe something darker was at work.
Memorial Text: "She sought to heal, but the forest claimed her still."

A respected woodcutter, Callum disappeared after venturing too deep into the woods, searching for old oak trees untouched by the blight.
His axe was found embedded in a tree trunk, covered in deep, unnatural scratch marks.
Memorial Text: "His axe found rest, though he never did."

Found half-eaten near the riverbanks, his boat drifting empty downstream. Some blame wolves, but others claim his wounds were not made by teeth, but by hands.
Memorial Text: "May the tides take him where the river failed."

Corwin Finch disappeared alongside his friend Calder Barrow one stormy night. Days later, his body was discovered near the riverbank, half-buried in the mud.
His throat was torn open, his hands clawed raw as if he had tried to escape something in the dark.
Calder Barrow, however, was never found.
Memorial Text: "He walked into the night and did not return whole."

Vanished the same night as Corwin Finch, but his body was never recovered. Some say he drowned, others whisper that something took him below.
Eadric Barrow has never stopped quietly searching for clues, though what he hopes to find, none can say.
Memorial Text (Left Blank): "No words mark his passing, for none know where he rests."

Samuel vanished over a year ago while on a solo hunting trip in the outskirts of the Gloomwood.
Some villagers believe he fell prey to wolves or was lost to the wilds, but others whisper that he stumbled upon something unnatural—something that did not let him leave.
No body was ever found, only his hunting knife, driven deep into the roots of an old tree, its blade blackened and rusted far beyond its age.
Miriam Holloway refuses to speak of his disappearance, though on nights when the wind howls through the trees, some claim to hear a voice calling from the forest… one that sounds eerily like his.
