Kresox's Grave (building)

After sporadic fighting against the Sjalvolki horde across Megos Kalathipsomi, Legon Kresox, out of supplies and with a rapidly dwindling force of regulars remaining, declared his surrender to the Witch-Breaker. While several of Kresox's generals had earned some merit fighting the Sjalvolki, it was no secret that Kresox himself had proven to be as much of a hinderance of the military as the invaders were. Corpulent, greedy and exceptionally hedonistic, Kresox's bitter refusal to show even the basic traits of leadership led to his constant damaging of the war effort and the failure of any organized response to the invasion.

When Kresox came to the ancient shrine in this spot to meet with the Witch-Breaker, he had his personal guard turn on his lieutenants and had them brought to Cenware in chains. Kresox offered his generals as slaves, along with the armies, in return for the right to keep his slaves.

The Witch-Breaker agreed to the offer, and Kresox signed an official declaration ordering the Legions of Kalathipsomi (II 'Proudest', IX 'Purety', VII 'Valor' and XVII 'Pathos') to surrender themselves to the Witch-Breaker immediately. Once the agreement was signed, Cenware ordered Kresox's slaves brought forth so that they may be returned to the Legon, and then had Kresox stripped and thrown to the mass, informing the slaves that the Legon had been returned to them as requested to do as they wished. As Kresox was beaten to death, the Witch-Breaker informed the surrendered legionary's that he formally freed them from their slavery, and ordered them to return to their homes and learn crafts other than war. An offer most were quick to take him up on.
