• Type: Site (cemetery)
• Location: 500 m west of Morningstar’s western parapet, Atrana Mountains, Asari Region
• Elevation: 300 m above sea level

On 1 November 2626, the nascent Morningstar community consecrated Mistfall Rest Cemetery, choosing a mist-washed glade 500 m beyond the town’s makeshift wall. By mid-2627, the 800 m² grounds—ringed by living logs of native hardwood—received their first interment, symbolizing the settlement’s transition from frontier camp to enduring township. With a total of 63 graves (23 Volunteer Army of Man soldiers and 40 civilians) through its operation, Mistfall Rest served Morningstar’s 3 000 residents until 8 April 2631, when Peace Treaty edicts ended terrestrial burials. Thereafter the plots fell silent, the mist and undergrowth reclaiming headstones and markers.

• Established: 1 November 2626
• Clearing Work: ≈ 30 mature hardwoods felled by two Manual Labor Bots
• Footprint: 800 m² (approx. 20 m × 40 m)
• Operational Period: 1 Nov 2626 – 8 Apr 2631
• Interments: 63 (23 soldiers, 40 civilians)
• Peak Burials: 15 in 2629 during the Great War
• Status (Gamma Age): Abandoned; overgrown with mist-forest saplings

• First Sacred Ground: Marked Morningstar’s break from shipboard internment, anchoring ExoHumans to mountain soil.
• Wartime Beacon: Soldier graves from 2629–30 fostered communal solidarity amid Frontier conflict.
• Peace Treaty Flashpoint: Its remote location became off-limits under treaty mobility controls, turning the site into an icon for trailing Individualists.

A thin veil of mist hugs the glade’s low stone wall, dotted with simple carved markers of native basalt. Narrow wood-plank walkways wind between neat rows of sapling plantings, their new leaves whispering in the warm mountain breeze. The scent of damp earth and fresh-cut hardwood mingles with faint incense tokens left by mourners. In the distance, the creak of a Hoo-drawn bier cart and the soft scrape of shovel on soil are the only sounds beneath the half-light. Visitors pause at a small log pavilion—Mistfall Alcove—where settlers share final words under a sky perpetually brushed in twilight hues.

Overgrown vines and moss cloak toppled markers; saplings thrive where footsteps once trod. The wood planks rot and vanish, leaving only hummocks of leaf litter. Drips from evergreen canopies patter on mossy tombstones, now half-buried in tangled undergrowth. Occasional shafts of pale light pierce the foliage, illuminating lichen-scarred epitaphs. The hush is broken only by distant thunder of mountain streams—a solemn reminder that this ground, once tendered by human hands, now belongs to the mist and forest.

Construction: Settler brigades and two Manual Labor Bots felled and milled logs; local stone quarried for headstones.

Closure: Peace Treaty clause on site-based burials (April 2631) led to official abandonment; access thereafter prohibited.

Reclamation: Without caretakers, the mist-forest regenerated swiftly; by 2635 only broken slabs and fallen posts hint at past reverence.

Beta Age Adventure – “Mist and Memory” The Contact Person asks the PCs to escort a revered settler’s body through mist-choked trails to Mistfall Rest before the rains ruin the ceremony. En route, they face wildlife ambushes and a bereaved ex-soldier seeking vengeance for a wartime atrocity.

Gamma Age Hook – “Echoes in the Mists” Individualist mourners plan a forbidden vigil among the overgrown graves under cover of night. Deputized by the Local Sheriff’s Office, PCs must infiltrate the mist-swathed grounds to either protect the gathering from Federal patrols or shut it down to prevent treaty breaches—and possibly unearth secrets long entombed.
