INTRODUCTION

EINLEITUNG

 

The Hall of Heroes is an initiative first raised during the Second Waldenic Diet and brought to fruition during the Third Waldenic Diet. It involves the physical construction of a memorial to all brave Waldenian soldiers who have fallen in battle. However, records of these heroes have been lost to time as Mankind fled various calamities, abandoning the halls where they stood.

 

The Ninth Waldenic Diet calls for all Waldenian families to submit the names and deeds of their fallen heroes to be forever commemorated.
