The Stone Coffin Fissure
"All tainted flesh eventually becomes putrescence, and this clump of it imbibed St. Trina's nectar, which granted it eternal rest. And so it was that putrescence became her knight."
From the Remembrance of Putrescence
On the southern shore of the Gravesite Plain, brilliant-blue flowers and colossal stone coffins drift together, coffins 'of unknown origin that seemingly drifted to this place.' The Stone Coffin Fissure is what lies beneath them : an underground chasm into which the coffins descend over centuries, carrying their cargo down into a basin of bruise-coloured liquid. The Congealed Putrescence flavour text describes what gathers there, 'Bruise-colored putrescence that oozes from stone coffins, congealed into a large viscous lump. Found underground in the land to where stone coffins drift. The putrescence is what remains of the impure lives kept within the stone coffins.'
What the coffins held is what makes the fissure a sacred site for one demigod. Saint Trina, in her exile from Miquella, descended to the basin and gave the putrescence, the unburied tainted dead, what no Erdtree priest would. The Remembrance of Putrescence describes the result : 'All tainted flesh eventually becomes putrescence, and this clump of it imbibed St. Trina's nectar, which granted it eternal rest. And so it was that putrescence became her knight.' The Putrescent Knight the Tarnished fights at the fissure's bottom is what rose from the basin, a tower of impure flesh that has finally, through Saint Trina's gift, found sleep.

Grave CricketCricket that produces a raspy cry. Mainly found near stone coffins. The sound of these crickets are often taken to be the rustling of the restless dead, or sometimes the sound of their calling voices.

Mass of PutrescenceSorcery originating from the putrid liquor of the stone coffins. In an age long past, Death was burned by ghostflame. Even the remains of tainted flesh were given equal treatment in death.
