Ground of Lost Tears
The Ground of Lost Tears, located in the Ustalavic county of Odranto,123 is the site of a brutal massacre that occurred during the Demonskin War.
History
Kellids from Sarkoris fled a demonic invasion, which eventually led to the formation of the Worldwound, into Ustalav. Princess Maraet Ordranti ruled that refugees from Sarkoris might bring a demonic taint with them and must be executed, and suspected that the Pharasmin nuns of Willowwind Priory were protecting such refugees within their walls. The nuns denied an Odranti border patrol access to their priory, so the troops burned it to the ground in an eerie silence. After the fire burnt out, no remnants of any survivors, nuns or Kellids, were found.
Since then, sounds of sobbing can be heard around the priory's blackened stones, giving rise to the area's current name. Each year on the Day of Bones, Pharasma's holy festival on the 5th of Pharast, ghosts of the nuns appear out of a shadow in the ground and lead hundreds of Kellid barbarians in worship.4
