Burial Well

Burial Wells are deep, naturally-formed holes that the citizens of Yliakum use to dispose of the empty shells of the truly dead. The bodies are interred there with often elaborate ceremonies to mark the event.
The Lemurs were the first to start this practice, and would mark these special wells with decorative stone carvings, often of a face with an open mouth.
No one is really sure how deep these wells are, but many believe that they are truly bottomless, calling them "holes in the world". It is illegal to enter a burial well, as a precaution against spreading disease from exposure to infected corpses.
