"That's... okay. Might be the weirdest burial custom I've ever heard of."
As the trio travel towards the place Utayo found from afar, they'll start heading into the foothills and then a thick forest. Thariza is silent but grows increasingly uneasy and nervous. It's when the party emerge into a path cut into the side of a cliff that the reason for it becomes obvious... but perhaps not to her two companions.
"No. No, no, no, no. Why'd it have to be here?" she asks in a hoarse voice.
Before them, at the end of the path, Ambrosia and Utayo will see what used to be a fortress. It was once a magnificent spire rising into the sky, cut from the same limestone as the cliffs around it. But something seems to have sheared most of it clean off, leaving it in rubble. The fortress below it escaped the devastation, but it's still a ruin, appearing to have been further damaged by explosions. It doesn't look like anyone has been here in some time.
