Guided tours are available at Tammy's Tour Guides, and they regale visitors with tales of Calradia's kings and queens, and the great deeds that earned them a place in King's Rest.
For the citizens of Nexus the cemetery is more than just a tourist attraction. It is a place of pilgrimage, where they come to offer prayers and make offerings to their past lieges, it is not uncommon for them to visit the tombs on special holidays and anniversaries, bringing offerings of food, flowers, and incense to honor the memory of past monarchs.
Despite its grandeur and beauty, however, Honor's End is also a place of sadness and loss. For all its magnificence, it is a reminder of the mortality of all things, and the fact that even the greatest and most powerful of the city's rulers will one day pass away.
