Right you are — for other questions, I'd say use the post that'll go up tomorrow, as it should have plot rolls too. Can I briefly ask what Wrath's found out so far from all his sleuthing? (Just so I can make sure to give him a plot roll that advances things.)

For your current Q: the tough part here is that I'm not sure how Wrath would be able to identify the (tombs of the) people who are relevant to his exploration. So I'll throw you some bits and bobs that I think he might notice, but you might have to execute a 'convenient' way for him to run into this knowledge. (Keep tripping on relevant tombs, Wrath.)

■ The mausoleum contains the tombs of all the previous Doxe since Taravast's inception. Wrath may notice they are very few, some seven-eight. Their tombs have carvings of birth and death years that suggest they lived especially long lives — many, 200+ years. One allegedly died at a respectable 317 years of age.

■ There are many tombs of higher-born sorcery practitioners who seem to have died during the same year. Any of the mausoleum caretakers can confirm this is the year when a sorcery district of Taravast sank underwater. These tombs are empty, with lids carved in the images of the honoured dead. (The bodies were all left underwater, past reach.) The death year is five years before the current time.

■ If you somehow break into Hatisse's tomb, in a move both brazen and, dare I say it, rude: Wrath may notice her body is well conserved, as if she barely passed. She is missing her eyes, tongue, left ear, and right hand.
