Eastguard Cemetery
The Temple Cemetery lies beside the The Temple Of Mishakal across the river at the northern edge of Eastguard. Travelers crossing the covered bridge on Main Street often notice the graves before they reach the temple itself. The burial ground sits on slightly raised earth, with worn paths winding between rows of modest markers and older headstones softened by weather.
This is not a grand cemetery. Most of the graves belong to ordinary townsfolk, river workers, sailors, craftsmen, and families whose names mattered deeply to someone even if history never wrote them down. A few older stones lean at odd angles, their carvings nearly worn smooth. Others are newer, simpler, and kept neat with flowers or small tokens left by relatives.
Trees along the edges cast long shadows over the grounds, and the sound of wind through their branches carries almost constantly here. The cemetery feels quiet rather than haunted. It is a place of memory, grief, and stubborn care.

Scene Summary
The cemetery beside the The Temple Of Mishakal is quiet, orderly, and older than many people in town realize. Rows of stone markers and simple graves create a place that feels cared for rather than abandoned.
Temple Grounds Approach
Crossing the covered bridge on Main Street leaves the noise of town behind. The path north opens onto the temple grounds, with the cemetery resting nearby beneath a handful of old trees.
Among the Graves
Most graves are humble. Some names are still clear. Others have nearly vanished beneath time and weather. Fresh flowers appear on a few stones from time to time, even when no one admits to leaving them.
Rumors
