Just before he died, Frederic Chopin supposedly wrote a note saying: “The earth is suffocating. Swear to make them cut me open, so I won’t be buried alive.”  Although it seems like the stuff of horror fiction today, people in previous centuries were very concerned about the possibility of ending up in a living tomb. The Victorian novelist and politician Edward Bulwer-Lytton asked for his heart to be punctured before he was buried, to make sure he was truly dead. George Washington requested that his body be watched for two days after his apparent demise. The Danish author and poet Hans Christian Andersen was so frightened of premature burial that he often slept with a sign on him that read: “I am not really dead.”

Pylon’s (Haelk Tributes) are historical monuments to battles and great calamities. Known for their tethered weapons, a tradition dating back to the Knights of the Ehvnntal which is still honored in the Seventh Age. There are rare Pylon’s with sigils still burning above them from distant ages past.
