Glarial's Tomb

The tomb of Glarial

Queen Glarial's tomb is located near Baxtorian Falls. It plays a significant part during Waterfall Quest. The inscription (after translation) reads: Here lies Glarial, wife of Baxtorian, true friend of nature in life and death. May she now rest knowing only visitors with peaceful intent can enter..

To enter, the player must obtain a small pebble from the Tree Gnome Village. Located inside of this tomb is Glarial's coffin and a chest, from which Glarial's urn and Glarial's amulet may be obtained, respectively. The amulet is required to enter the Waterfall Dungeon under the Baxtorian Falls.

In Roving Elves, the spirit of Glarial is called upon to change the nature of the consecration seed.

Disappearance

Little is known about the disappearance of Glarial. In the Fourth Age, Glarial was married to King Baxtorian of Clan Cadarn, becoming acting regent of the Cadarn holdings east of Tirannwn (which covered part of the human kingdom of Kandarin) after Clan Iorwerth seized control of the city of Prifddinas. Baxtorian and his allies were forced to respond by bringing the bulk of their armies into Tirannwn. In his absence, the human population of the east (who were treated as serfs under elven rule) rebelled against Clan Cadarn. Simultaneously, Glarial was captured by the enemy, causing Baxtorian to fall into a deep depression. Upon his return, Baxtorian constructed a memorial to Glarial and sealed himself beneath a waterfall, believing her to be dead.

During The Light Within, Baxtorian is brought back to life by Arianwyn. Baxtorian goes on to construct a statue of his wife containing the Seren shard of integrity.

Trivia

• In-universe, there is a theatrical play named The Bethrothal of Glarial.
• Glarial's tomb in the waterfall quest and Roving Elves is depicted with a Zarosian marker, the equilateral cross inscribed in a circle. This is odd as the elves are known followers of Seren, whose emblem is a rhombus.
