Abbey of Heironeous

The abbey stands amid a massive cemetery on all sides. Nearly all who ever lived in the abbey are buried on the hill, a simple garden tended by the awkward Father Olcun Prinirdo, whose interests lie more in grounds keeping than with the living. To aid the connection between living and the dead, the sanctuary holds the site known as the Whisperwall, its thick stone evenly marked with thousands of hollows, each holding a tiny votive candle corresponding to one of the graves in the nearby gardens. Townsfolk from around the country often come to the wall to pray, commune with their departed ancestors, and, some say, have the dead speak with them.
