Grave of the Million (building)

The Grave of the Million is the name for the chief battlefield of the Harad Alsyudaha', or the 'Campaign of the Martyrs'. Despite the campaign taking place across much of Sihnamiyah and lasting over a hundred years, outliving even the Wardenite general who initiated it.

Despite the situation of the campaign and seemingly by a constant series of pure luck, nearly every major battle of the campaign was somehow fought here. Every time the Wardenites reached the Ritualist homelands, they were beaten back to here. Every time the Ritualists made the crossing west, the Wardenites would ambush them here. By the end of the campaign, both sides actively attempted to avoid the region, only to somehow end up meeting again on the spot, still piled with thousands of fallen from a century of war.

Eventually, the Campaign of the Martyrs would end specifically due to the location, and the war was taken to sea for several decades after. To this day, the area is avoided, spirits and living dead seemingly summoned by ancient magic and the full weight of emotion bled into the sands.
