(ooc: Just fyi- at night Imperia's streets [especially dangerous places like the graveyard] is largely deserted. It is very unlikely there would be anyone else out and about. Please read the "Ambience" section of Information of Imperia for clearification. Thanks! And I'm glad you guys wanted to go ahead with this thread!)
The graveyards of Imperia. Perhaps in all the Empire there was not such a busy place. Every brightening new plots were being opened up and new tenets being dis posited here. A side effect of a high crime rate, to be sure. There were all sorts of people here, most so poor they could not afford even the most basic of headstones in death. Instead, a fair bunch of the graves were simply marked with white painted stones laid in piles at the head of the graves. The place too was rumored. There were ever growing tales of foul natures at work here. Depending on who you talked to the graveyard was haunted, filled with undead, reavers, or worse. Of course most of these were just children's stories but one never did know.
The place was like many graveyards, quiet and somber. Seemingly alone, Drake moved about unabated. Here he could look at the many who had drew their last living breath in the city. Nobles, dock workers, and beggars all, this was the final destination for all those that called Imperia home. The air was chill and cold, with fog moving in through the sacred site as the weather often did in Winter. There was a light drizzle in the air, not wet enough to be troublesome however. There was also no moon, a good thing if one were to believe in omens and the like.
As Khan approached the graveyard he could easily make out Drake, standing there in his white garb. Moving to Drakes side easily in the darkening he could watch the kemite. The only question was what would he do? Hopefully their meeting would not add a new member to the graveyard. This place claimed many souls already....
