I wonder.. Does composting copses in plump helmet fields be a form of cannibalism?
I would imagine not.  We don't count it as such irl.  Not that we purposely fertilize the field with our dead, but its sure to have happened before.

  For a more real-world comparison, look at what we do fertilize fields with.  Are we dung-eaters?

Ask the nun if she knowns anything about elven funeral practices.  If info obtain, do the best to do that.  If not, just do something nice in their memory with the bodies.

-1 Sorry, we already know the Nun thinks elves are the lowest form of life in the universe. (Reference: "We came first, and rightfully claimed the rich, bountiful mountains. Then came humans and the Gnomes and the Orks and their cousins the Goblins. Then the mythical and the mundane and then the creeping, crawling, ugly things and then the elves.")

That map.  Shielddawn's layout is far too simple, sensible and logical to be a succession fort.  I love the Shielddawn crest, though!  (The shield with the three holy circles and the sun rising over it.  That's just wonderful.)

What if the fort started started as a normal one by someone actually intelligent, who then got bored and left it to succession?

Sensible?  Putting levers by prisoners by nobles in the caverns is sensible?

The argument can be made either way.  Ive had some very sensibly designed succession forts.

Do as you were ordered and drag the elves to the waste pile. After you finish bringing them to the waste pile, thus finishing the task you were assigned you can drag them all the way back outside. Maybe bury them in a hole near a tree so their corpses can be used as nutrients for the plants. The elves would have wanted it that way.

Yeah, +1. We'll have to be careful though, showing anything but casual disregard for an elf's body could land us in a heap o' trouble.

Loot elves for any arrows, throw them at a wall to train thrower skill.

Then go to the pasture and find a chicken to wrestle to build wrestler/fighter/dodger/armour skill and make five attributes superdwarven. Whoops this ain't adventure. Disregard.

+1 give as close to a proper burial as you can. If your party had depended on their own very dwarven devices, you'd now all be members of an undead roadbuilding crew, at best.

If anyone asks about why you're burying it, explain that the elves had proven themselves to be dwarven in their minds by being badass.

So yeah, haul Darkerdaffodil's corpse outside somewhere out of the way. Someplace he'll be eaten by badgers in peace or something. Whatever elves like to do about the great cycle and all.


+1 this but after you finish that go directly the queen and ask nicely if you can please be a cheese maker

You know, with the overseer quitting, there is going to be a period of chaos and Misty can do almost anything she wants as long as she claims the last overseer told her to do it... so really, she can do whatever feels best for the elves.

True, and as a succession fort the overseer won't have a tight focus on getting her. If she keeps her nose down, she'll only have to fear passive malice, not the burning active hate a long-term overseer can develop.
