Welcome to Freywold's Tribute Site, outlander. I am Gartwin, Caretaker of these earthen and the tribute stones.
Take a moment to reflect if you wish. This is a quiet, safe space for many Unbound and I gladly offer it to you should you need it.
What is this place?
This is a place of tribute and remembrance for the Unbound who once made Freywold their home.
Some of these stones you see here are tribute stones, shaped for earthen who have been lost to us overtime or in some cases, were even in the Vault when it shutdown.
Although most of us hold no expectation for the machines to ever reawaken, for some it was difficult to let their friends and loved ones go.
And so, they carved tribute stones to remember the names of those lost.
And what about the earthen who shut down here?
<Gartwin's expression saddens for a moment.>
When the Stonebound began to turn away from Dornogal, they lost access to the Machine.
That meant, even in its offline state, their forms could not be housed safely within. Since they had surrendered their right to renewing their cycle, the notion of shutting down and forever being lost was... terrifying to many.
Those Unbound clung to a flicker of hope, a small part of their programming refusing to accept the finality of permanent stasis-lock. They have chosen to shut down at Tribute Sites like this.
And as Caretaker, even as Unbound, it is still my duty to tend to them and those shut down in the wilds.
