Halcyon Hills

Halcyon Hills is a large creature-free area located outside of the Wehnimer's Landing gates, just south of Melgorehn's Reach. The immense area hosts memorials to characters of players who have passed in real life.

Players are reminded that all items left in this area are likely in memory of someone.

Behind the Scenes

When it opened about 2003, the GameMasters decided to not put names on any of the memorials; thus, anything in the area that is a flower, tree, bench, or bier is a memorial to someone. An investigation by APM Wyrom turned up no database of the dedications.

Mourner's Cabin

Players may also memorialize their friends with candles found in the Mourner's Cabin.

[Mourner's Cabin]
The walls of this small cabin are made from hand-carved golden oak. Polished cedar and mahogany trim adds character to the otherwise simple appearance. A small fire burns within a rough granite fireplace, the half-consumed logs filling the air with the pleasant scent of applewood. Dozens of candles rest atop a large wooden table, a small apple crate, and some golden oak shelves. Moonlight streams in through the cabin's single window, bathing the room in a pale silvery glow.
Obvious exits: out

"The candles sold in this shop are special candles.  They may only be lit within Halcyon Hills, and only next to a body of water.  To dedicate your candle to someone special, just whisper his or her name to the candle.  Then, light the candle beside the lake.  New candles will be added periodically.  If there is a specific candle description that you would like, please leave a note on the message tree."

All candles are 100 silvers

Identified Memorials

Zzentar

A polished marble statue

Chiseled in white marble with streaks of red and grey is the image of a dark elven mage.  With his gaze directed skyward, a gentle smile plays across his features.  To his chest is clutched a slender, etched runestaff.  Delicately carved from thin, red-streaked marble, a raised banner furls above him and drapes across one shoulder.  At the base of the statue rests an elegantly scribed plaque.

In the Common language, it reads:

In Memory of our dear friend Zzentar, who generously shared his knowledge and friendship across these lands.  
~~He will live on in the hearts of all those touched by his gentle spirit.~~

Bisco

A large dark granite statue

Shaped from smooth dark granite, the statue is that of a short giantman with thin hair sprouting out wildly from all directions of his head, and a baker's apron stretched across an enormously rotund belly.  His marbled eyes sparkle and his lips are chiseled into an eternal, whimsical smile while his hand clutches a large beer stein.

There appears to be something written on it.

Positioned before the statue's feet is a biscuit-shaped stone plaque that reads, "In Remembrance of Bisco.  The heat of a thousand kilns could never rival the warmth your memory holds in our hearts."
