Every historic village needs a resting place for its ancestors. A Gothic village cemetery featuring stone wall tombstones, iron fences, and a central heart-shaped mausoleum adds profound narrative depth to your world.

Light the cemetery grounds exclusively with flickering soul torches to create a chilling, atmospheric night setting.
