Butterfly Village

The Butterfly Village is a group of Monarch Butterflies trapped down in FrostFern after one of it's entrances was permanently sealed.

Ancestral Commemoration
The Monarch Butterflies of the Butterfly Village have a great reverence for those ancestors who came before them, particularly their village elders. As such, commemorative works of art are made to remember those who have passed.

The most notable of these are the Elder Totem, and the Wing Tapestry. The elder totem is a large stone monolith, carved each time a Village Elder dies in order to preserve their memory. The totem grows ever more complex as the generations wear on.

The Wing Tapestry, on the other hand, is something all members of the Butterfly Village are able to contribute to upon their inevitable passing. It is made of hundreds of different wings, sewn together, taken from the fallen as their final gift to history. Each new addition to this colourful tapestry is then painted with a pictographic summary of that Butterfly's life, their greatest accomplishments, and meaning to those around them, etc.

These celebrations of history and life are of great importance to the Village, and they (and the memories they represent) must be preserved at all cost.
