Mourner's Way

A natural cavern tunnel winding into the mountain. Reinforced by the Order of Last Light over a century ago, it was the path they took down to Gloomdeep’s entrance before abandoning the expedition. Now, it serves as the Vigil’s sacred descent. It is cold, echoing, and utterly silent — a final breath of clean air before the horrors begin. Supplies bound for @Emberhold are lowered down this route, and every warrior who walks it is given a moment of solitude before vanishing into the dark.

"Speak no vows beyond this point, for the dead do not listen. Step in silence, and may flame find you in the dark."
— Inscription at the mouth of Mourner’s Way
