Graves come in many shapes and sizes in the Land of Mists.
Marked graves are, of course, prone to robbing. A not overly fresh grave may offer up, in place of a rotted corpse, a foul and dangerous thing called grave ooze. Or there may only be a tunnel left by a ghoul leading into its warren.
To be sure, not all graves are marked. There are many signs of unmarked graves. In the Ehrendton of Nova Vaasa, for example, patches where the grass has turned from yellow-green to white are called dødmangraes ("dead man's grass") and are said to be the sign of unmarked graves.
Shipwrecks can be mass graves that are, after a fashon, marked, bearing for a time at least the name of vessel upon which the dead served in life. It is not uncommon for them to be haunted by undead.
The sea is perhaps the greatest grave of all. Any sailor "buried" at sea is consigned to her depths where he will hopefully stay.
There are intrepid men, or fools, who specialise in the plundering of graves. They are especially found of tombs. They consider themselves professionals, call themselves crypt raiders, and are wont to introduce themselves as archeologists.
