OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
  • Intent: To create a tomb that the Wukong use to train their padawans and test their skills.
  • Image Credit: N/A
  • Canon: N/A
  • Permissions: N/A
  • Links: N/A
SETTING INFORMATION
  • Structure Name: Tomb of the Lovers
  • Classification: Tomb
  • Location: Atrisia codex Atrisia wookiee
  • Affiliation: Atrisian Commonwealth
  • Accessibility: Maybe one fo the more easy tombs to access, the high mountain route makes the ruins themselves accessible via airship.
  • Description: The main entrance to the tomb is a series of platforms that are suspended over a gravity chute to keep the initiates safe but will deposit them back to the beginning. ONe of the first of four murals is here detailing the incidents that led to the two meeting.
  • Then it moves into the cliff face itself, designed as a round series of outcroppings where stairs and a bridge used to be at one point. The mural is off to the side and stretches around showing the battle and fleeing from Kuramagi.
  • The cliffs themselves have eroded and broken leaving large gaps that have been filled with gravity chutes to pull in towards a lower platform in case the one taking the trial falls. Rounding until it comes to another mural and a wall that needs to be scaled up.
  • The top most chamber of the ruins holds the vaault where the artifact required to gain entrance is placed. With a Tower of Hanoi puzzle that has been set up to test the skills. In Atrisian to the side is the rules and the final mural is located near it.
  • With the puzzle completed the vault houses several pieces of equipment, treasures and clothing but the biwe instrument is what is neded and opens the door leading back towards the main entrance with a gravity chute to put one safely down.
POINTS OF INTEREST
Mural: Detailing the story as it was told and recorded. The four murals throughout the mountain tomb itself.

Treasure Vault: One of the easier to get to and reach as it is simply above the main entrance. The puzzle lock is one of the more difficult tasks as a Tower of Hanoi is designed for the locking mechanism. The biwe of the prefect is the primary piece needed.

SECURITY
Low
One of the most open of the tombs to be able to get in, airships can easily reach it and the main entrance only provides a little in the form of protection.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
One of the more vertical tombs, designed to be a sanctuary once upon the time for two who fled Kuramagi academy into the mountains and traveled for days being hounded by the emperors yovshin. The jade dragon and the blood tiger were not well known but when they found their way into the five finger valley, into the ancient remains of the Agora temple the sanctuary it offered was big. They were said to have lived their life high in the halls of the mountain itself away from the others.

They built a small home in the high mountains with a complicated and winding path that would be required to get up to them. There was not much know but the legendary sounds of their musci filtered down from the peaks. There was not much known about it or them... records of their looks or even the gender of the two seems to have been obscured even to the murals of the tomb itself telling the tale of their escape from the academy and trek through the mountains.

There something happened in the ruins of Jeidushi the city of the god of love. There the tale of the two lovers changes as they fled deeper into the mountains coming to the valley. There they hid and built a new life. For a decade managing to sustain themselves and in the ruins they danced on the old stone until a storm came. Laster from winter until summer and winter again bringing seismic activity that alerted Atrisian forces.

With the forces discovering them the two were arrested for their crimes... well those changed. Aiding with an attack was serious enough but it would have been considered hard labor worthy.... what was discovered when they were found though sealed their fate. They were taken before one of the emperors investigators and found guilty and then sentenced to be executed. The pair knowing they couldn't escape fate opted to escape in one last desperate action.

They narrowly made it out of the prison they were being held in and then they rode mounts to the cliffs of the Agora once again. To the ruins where they had spent their time and lept from them into the valley below arm in arm. Their deaths were considered tragic b many even though they were said to be deviants who had cursed themselves. Years later a tomb was erected in the high halls with what remained of the ruins being used to test the Wukong.

The Wukong themselves in building the tomb made it a sort of test.. the story showed a deep devotion to another person even against personal safety. As the Wukong value each other and serve.. so to must they be able to and be willing to sacrifice for each other. That was one of the ideas brought about by the Wukong and the Atrisians who were restoring the tomb to try and tell an ancient story that now would have been looked at much differently.
