What is recorded here
Drumlave holds a graveyard where human lives ended and soil took them back. The exact layout and dates have not survived into clear memory, but the function is plain: people died, others buried them, and the field became a place of return. Forgetting the names does not erase the purpose. It only returns the dead to the region, where they belong under its sky.
