Burial sites come in many shapes and sizes.
There is the traditional marked grave, which is 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.
There are of course unmarked graves too, of which there may be, nonethless, signs. 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. It is said in Kartakass that meekulbern will only grow in soil soaked in a man's blood.
Shipwrecks are often mass graves, being marked, after a fashon, for they bear 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 the undead.
The sea is perhaps the greatest burial site of all. Any sailor "buried" at sea is consigned to her deep with the hope that he will stay there.
There are intrepid men, or fools, who specialise in the plundering of burial sites. They are especially fond of tombs. These individuals consider themselves to be professionals, call themselves crypt raiders, and are wont to introduce themselves as archeologists.
