Mourncross Effigy
Large construct, unaligned
Mourncross burns an effigy at the crossroads every year to mark the towers it has lost, and it has run out of room for new ones, so the old frames are left standing in the field behind the market. Wicker, road-tar and nine iron hooks. They have started walking on the nights they were built to be burned on, and they walk toward the towers.
