The Waywent Shrine and Mortuary

Upon angel’s wings we hope to fly, into hallowed halls e’en though we die; to Nostrandir or Valhall’, we pray Sigurn guide: the souls of those who perish within Good Eyes in kind.
This message carved above the entrance to the Waywent Shrine and Mortuary speaks as a message, like that of all gravesites in Talam'h, of what the interred wishes to have happen to them in the afterlife. The Waywent Shrine is not dedicated to the afterlife of any particular God, but instead to the idea of Goodness in general. Being interred here is simply a wish and a prayer that the dead will enjoy one of the Good-aligned afterlives.
The Shrine is made up of two parts, the above ground graveyard and the below ground mortuary. It is below even this mortuary, where Tycheron's secretive Thieves Guild calls home. Though it did not start this way, it has gotten to the point where everyone employed by the Waywent Shrine is in actuality a member of the Thieves Guild.

Purpose / Function

Originally the common-people of Tycheron's gravesite dedicated to Tiamat; but after the Vassal-Governor Duergothoth was killed and deposed, the Shrine was renamed and rededicated to its modern purpose.

Alterations

Throughout the many generations the Shrine has seen, it has experienced much expansion; and when the above ground graveyard finally could not be expanded anymore, they developed the crypts below and the mortuary was born. Though that is not to say the Shrine has run out of space, both the graveyard above and the mortuary beneath have capacity still for many more generations.

Architecture

The age and development of the city can be witnessed all in one place here, especially in the graveyard portion of the Shrine. Draconic columns give way to more modern archways and statues as one goes from the center of the site to its outer edges.
