Lonely Cairn of Stones

Ancient monument on the edge.

"I have been to many places in the plains but for just one time I would like to visit the lonely cairn. We don't know who built it, or when, but we can feel that it was important. I wish to sit myself down near the stones and look out onto the open skies. Someone came from somewhere to do something and built this as a mark that they were here. Does it mean they will return or that they left something behind?"

Not Just A Pile of Rocks

Almost on the very edge of the Orthlands where the land ends and the sky begins, there is an ancient cairn. Even though moss grows on the nearby rocky ground there is none on the cairn as if it protected by a mysterious force. This pile is no natural occurance, it was once built by someone to symbolize something commonly thought to be a memorial to the dead.
The cairn is relatively unknown and certainly a almost untouched location. A few Orth have visited the monument but it is very out of the way. The windspeakers don't fly their on their kites because the strong winds make it easy to fly off the edge of the island and hard to turn around.

There are rumors of a pile of stones in the Orthlands, suggested to be a burial marker. I suggest that this was built not as a burial marker but as a landmark for navigation. I also propose the idea that it was constructed long ago by the skyfarers before they began to settle on Breharan.
