Graveyard
Graveyard
The Graveyard keeps a record of pets who have died. Death is part of Feral Rise's survival loop, and pets do not simply vanish from the world's history when their story ends.
What the Graveyard Records
A graveyard record may include:
- The pet's name and identity.
- The date of death.
- The recorded cause of death when available.
- Other memorial information connected to the pet.
Death During Travel or Battle
When a pet dies during a dangerous activity, the aftermath may explain:
- What killed the pet.
- Which carried pouch items were lost.
- Whether territory progress or other travel progress was affected.
Faux may also send a message about the death. Faux is the site's system sender and grim-reaper voice. This is not the same character as F.O.X.S., the suspicious green-box creature.
The Body Still Needs Care
A graveyard entry records the death, but the colony may still need to handle the remains. An unattended body can attract pests, scavengers, predators, and contamination.
Read Deceased Care for the colony's options and risks.
Cosmetics and Gear
Cosmetic items are treated differently from functional survival equipment:
- Cosmetics and protected appearance items are not meant to be lost simply because a pet died.
- Functional equipment and carried survival supplies can be removed or lost depending on the situation.
