I need to know this for a game, can someone clarify what the following bolded sentence means:
From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Celestia):
The second layer, called Mercuria is also known as The Golden Heaven, so called because a mysterious golden light permeates everything within it. Gentle hills and lush green valleys comprise this layer, dotted with small settlements of archons and other good-aligned beings. Mercuria is known for its great tombs and monuments to noble fighters and paladins who now rest on this layer. These warriors are honoured during an annual Day of Memory.
Isn't Celestia where the souls of goodly people go (and they turn into Lantern Archons immediately on entering?) What exactly is in a tomb in that very plane? I mean, it could hardly be an actual body in a sarcophagus, right? And the souls of these heroes (especially of Paladins) must have gone on to become Archons of some sort I'd imagine. And how would a Paladin "rest" in this layer at all? If he's dead, he's an archon, if he's alive he's somewhere on the material plane isn't he?
If anyone can explain the tomb thing or maybe could tell me what other kind of "dungeon" adventurers might encounter that managed to come to this plane, I'd be grateful. :smallsmile:
