The Valley of Mors is a valley to the Northwest of Shirekeep and located in southern Alalehzamin and Utasia, in the Bailiwick of Northshire that was formerly a part of the Imperial County . The valley was named after the Cedrist God of Death, Mors, and is used to bury Kaisers and very important and influential nobles.
Description
The Kaisers are buried in tombs which are constructed during the life of the Shirerithian Head of State. Once dead, the Kaiser is buried in a decorated tomb with important and precious artefacts. The valley itself is easily to protect as there is just one entrance, which is blocked by the temple and walls of Sakatopolis.
Guard towers are located upon the hills to avoid that, most likely Babkhan, thugs can steal the precious goods and sell it for cheap vodka. Since the guards are now employees of the Arandur of the Babkhi dominated Emirate of Alalehzamin and Utasia, the long term success of this arrangement is now open to investigation.
The Valley was opened by Gaelen IV. However, the first Kaiser to be buried within it has been Magni I, who abdicated in favour of Gaelen IV.
Tombs
Tomb of Kaiser Magni I
The Tomb of Magni I was constructed during the reign of his successor in 4228 ASC. It became a simple tomb without too much expensive artwork. The architects, however, made it so that each afternoon when the sun is on it highest point, it lights up the room within the tomb where the Kaiser is buried.
Magni was buried in it a year after his abdication: 4229 ASC.
Tomb of Kaiser Gaelen IV
- See: Tomb of Gaelen
- A film fragment from the Tomb at the outside has been made by Fides and is viewable here.
Construction works were started for the tomb after his ascension of the Throne and coronation. The Kaiser appointed the Gralan Fides as his chief architect, who constructed a marvellous temple for the Kaiser for just 300 Erb.
