Editing Beneath Castle Everglory: LEVEL 7: The Tomb (section)

=4.  Third Fresco=

The walls of this 4 yard by 8 yard room have been plastered and the plaster has been painted with brightly colored frescos.  On the left wall, the fresco has been marred by the melting of paint.  Read left to right while facing into the tomb, the scenes depicted are as follows.


Left Wall

Twelve figures, their bodies and faces entirely hidden by the voluminous white robes they wear, stand gathered with arms outstretched around what might be a long stone altar, carved with rows of stone orchards.  Whatever was on top of the altar is now nothing but a broad streak of melted paint, running down the sides.  In the background, a blue sky is filled with swirling white clouds and wheeling hawks.


Right Wall

The fresco shows a street filled with weeping humans, all walking in the same direction.  Peasants trudge alongside fine ladies and gentlemen, all faces distorted with the depth of their grief.  A few people crawl and some appear to be whipping themselves or other weepers.  They are all barefoot and the cobbled road is stained with the bleeding of their feet.
