A few minutes later, David followed Attilicia, who wore a complex expression, to a cruciform tombstone overgrown with vines and moss, and then he was dumbstruck.
The tombstone recounted the heroic deeds of a Barbarian Warrior from the Gloomy Region, who had slain enemies on all sides and covered his comrades' retreat.
Although it was written in the common tongue, the flashy letters and forms told David right away that it was the work of the Drow.
He could even imagine that, more than likely, it was composed by Drow Mages and then directly carved with a dagger by Hiatt, the Shadow Dancer.
After all, these two Drow couldn't escape their inherently evil nature, but the Barbarian had laid down his life to save them from a siege.
It wouldn't reduce them to tears of gratitude, but since the man was dead, arranging a somewhat decent funeral and erecting a reasonably dignified tombstone was the least they could do.
But this simple act left David feeling completely numb.
