Tombstone Park

Levels 1–10

Built by Mrbuildsalot

With so many close by human settlements, having one central cemetery for the surrounding area initially seemed like a good idea. A park like area of land, perfect for quiet walks or contemplating mortality, where the fishermen of Angler's Cove could rest their remains peacefully alongside lumberjacks or wealthy merchants. A generous budget from the surrounding area would support a dedicated staff of grounds keepers and grave diggers, whose soul duty it would be to keep the cemetery neat and welcoming for new arrivals and visitors. Unfortunately nobody considered the graveyard's proximity to the colosseum, and particularly, the strange magic which makes arena combatants recover from life threatening injuries. Though not quite strong enough at this distance to literally bring people back to life (especially when their souls have already departed), the affect upon mortal remains is quite startling, indeed "taking a walk in the park", has become a local phrase indicating someone has died. Though the undead of Tombstone Park are a generally harmless variety, mostly just shambling around, occasionally clawing at things, naturally people didn't like the idea of their dead relatives wandering about after burial, so the cemetery fell into disuse. Unfortunately, this had a less than healthy affect upon the staff, indeed being all alone listening to corpses moan all day, most of them have gone slightly mad, though rumours say for the dedicated explorer, there are still secrets to be found under the park's gloomy trees.
