• 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.

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.
