On the Mountain's Cry
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Maidens in the Black Water, in reliquaries, as Pillars.
The maidens sleep as Pillars, neither alive nor dead, reliving the pain of others in a cycle unending.
The stronger the Pillar, the greater the pain they endure.
When the pain is too much the box opens, and the Pillar melts into the Black Water.
This weakens the ward against the Shadowspring, and so the mountain cries out in pain.
A cry as of the maidens' pain, a sign of calamities to come.
