Death and Funerary Traditions of Gwinn
Most of the Death and Funerary Traditions of Gwinn traditions carry over from the Sea King days. They are not part of the standard Death and Cultural Observances of the Steel Realms
Death Voyage: “The Cold Embrace of the Currents” – The currents are symbolic of life, and the cold of the sea symbolic of death – a sloop is made to sink over time. The body of the noble is encased in ice in the hold. All his friends and relative tears are gathered in a “Cup of Tears” and placed on board as an offering to Elancil. The ship is prepared to look magnificent, but is a shadow of real glory – all items are fake or cheap. The body and ship are taken into the ‘undercurrents’ and sail with Elancil forever on seas that go into the cold forever. Sometimes professional criers are hired when a person is reviled. The tears are required for Elancil to accept them.
