The Book of the Dead

Within the hallowed pages of this tome lies the remembrance of those who have crossed the veil, their names inscribed so they might never be forgotten. To mourn is to honor; to remember is to sanctify. Let this be a testament to their deeds and a record for the living, as guided by the wisdom of the Martyrs, Kalim and Gamil. May their judgments be just, and their repose eternal.

"Kalim and Gamil, bearers of the burden of Death and Law, grant me clarity as I pen these words. Through your wisdom, I honor the fallen; through your sacrifice, I uphold the memory of the lost. Let this book be a light in the darkness, a shield for the forgotten, and a balm for the grieving."

To my fellow Twindari, the keepers of life and death, and those who knew the departed, I extend a hand and a plea: find me, Noxieos Adalsteinn, and contribute the names of those who have touched your life, who have left their mark upon this world. Let us remember them here, together, so they may be carried forward through time.

Of those who have passed, I will be following a template going forward to record them. It is as follows:

Name: (Their full name, or the name they were most known by.)
Age at Passing: (How many years they lived before crossing the veil.)
Race: (Their heritage or lineage.)
Cause of Death: (Optional. A brief note of how they passed, if known.)
Biography: (Their life story, deeds, or defining traits. What will they be remembered for?)
Final Words or Wishes: (If they left any parting words, wishes, or wisdom to the living.)
Resting Place: (Where they were laid to rest, or if their body is lost, where they are spiritually honored.)
Legacy: (What they left behind—a family, a tradition, a lesson, or something they built or sacrificed for.)
