Editing HIMS Xanadu (section)

=== The Wall of the Dead ===
While much of the vessel is dedicated to the display of the Dynasty's trophies and past leaders, in a quiet alcove off the Emperor's temple is a room that holds only a pair of low benches.  On the obsidian walls are carved the names of officers, inlaid in gold, that have died while onboard the Xanadu - by tradition, those names are carved into the stone by the captain they served.  Many crew take pride in their forefathers' presence on this solemn monument.
