Description:
Memento Mori. Remember that you will die. Such is the curse of all mortals. The Bubonic Plague, the Vikings, wars, old age, executions, murder, falling into a cesspit, &c. The list goes on and on and on. While death is inevitable, let us make the best of our limited time on this plane of existence. Come join us at our Festival of Bones as we celebrate that which is inevitable and that which we are.
