Hidden
Easter egg 'Lichyard' is built on 'lich', an old word for a corpse, so the name means a yard of dead bodies. A quiet echo of the quest title.

Accepting the quest

Airell

Be welcome to the Church of Saint Adama Landama. I am Sister Airell.

I gather you are on no pilgrimage. You look to be an adventurer. If so, might I impose on you to help tend the lichyard while you are here with us?

  • FR Un des frères chargés du nettoyage du cimetière est souffrant aujourd'hui. ‘One of the brothers in charge of cleaning the cemetery is ill today.’ English notes you are an adventurer, not a pilgrim; French says a brother who cleans the cemetery is sick.

The graves here far outnumber we who keep them. Alone, we cannot possibly do all that needs be done.

Would you see to gathering up the old offerings currently lying about outside? I made note of at least six during my last rounds through the yard.

Deliver the old offerings to Sister Airell.

Airell

Were you able to gather the old offerings?

Thank you. Would that there were naught else to be done. I must see to collecting the weathered vases, urns, and ewers before long. The dead sleep soundest in a tidy grave.

  • FR Même si elles ont été déposées par les familles des défunts, nous ne pouvons pas laisser indéfiniment ces bouteilles de vin se dégrader. ‘Even though they were left by the families of the departed, we cannot let these bottles of wine go on deteriorating forever.’ English speaks of weathered vases, urns and ewers; French speaks of bottles of wine.
  • DE Die Weinspenden sind eine gut gemeinte Geste, doch irgendwann sind die verwitterten Flaschen keine Zierde mehr für die Gräber. ‘The wine offerings are a well-meant gesture, but at some point the weathered bottles are no longer an adornment for the graves.’ English speaks of weathered vases, urns and ewers; German speaks of weathered wine bottles.
  • DE Dann leeren wir sie aufopferungsvoll und stoßen auf die Verstorbenen an. ‘Then we selflessly empty them and drink a toast to the departed.’ English says the dead sleep best in tidy graves; German jokes the clergy drink the offered wine.
  • JA ありがとうございます、手向けられた酒瓶も、いつかは片付けねばなりません。 ‘Thank you; the bottles of liquor offered must also be cleared away someday.’ English speaks of weathered vases, urns and ewers; Japanese speaks of offered liquor bottles.

I have no shortage of work to offer, should you care to take it. Speak to me again whensoever you feel so compelled.
