HomestoneBiata hold a deep belief in the power of their Homestones, great spheres of hematite that hold racial memories. These hematite formations also serve as a gateway for their spirits to enter the graveyard of the Homestone. The graveyard appears to be caverns and hewn chambers within the Hematite and the spirits of Biata from across time communicate with each other in these halls. Many scholars debate whether the Homestone is truly a graveyard or simply a perfect collection of all the memories of the Biata race, however travel to the graveyard has always been via the same magics which take one to other graveyards. In addition interactions with the memories stored in the physical Homestones on Tyrra is usually more static then with the spirits in the graveyard. Unlike the elven need for a spirit tree to serve as the gateway to the graveyard the Biata do not need to be linked directly to a Homestone. Their spirits seem to be drawn through whichever formation is closest when they meet permanent death. Wandering the hallways and passages of the Homestone is the being known as the Great Gryphon it is the guardian of the Homestone and those spirits who meet his favor become his hunters and riders guarding the passages of memory and removing those spirits who are not part of the Homestone. |
