The Gorehusk Maw

The Gorehusk warlords fought the HollowMaw across the Ash Fields for most of the Wardens' Age and were buried where they fell, face-up, so the dirt could never make them kneel. The harvest wardens worked the rows around the pits and never dug in them. This one held its pose through every season the fields threw at it. The war altar where the GraveForge Warlord was fused to his stone sits at the far end of the same field. The grudge outlasted the flesh.

Each layer line is left as the record of its making. The relic emerges striation by striation, the way bone accretes, the way ash settles. Nothing here is smoothed.
