The Silent Order is a sect of the Cult of Mythrys that believes that the Monad manifests in the world as Death. This holy order serves as the City’s undertakers. They maintain the Ossuary, carefully cleaning the bones of the deceased and arranging them in beautiful patterns. In a metropolis as large as the City, their task is ceaseless.
The Silent Quarter is one of the entrances to the Ossuary. By visiting this district, the aggrieved may pay respects to fallen comrades or purchase lavish funerals to bring honor and fame to the departed.
Sensations:
The Silent Order is bound by vows of silence, and thus an ominous stillness hangs over this district. Tall, basalt temples reflect the sound of footsteps down the streets and corridors in an eerie echo. The scent of preserving oils and incense hangs over the district. You hear the tolling of bells.
Special City Action:
- Visit grave: Visit the bones of a comrade in arms you’ve had a Funeral for (p. 158). Pay 100g in grave gifts. Cry. Achieve catharsis. You cure one Curse effect, with the GM’s permission.
