The Field of the Victorious, sometimes known as the Graveyard of the Victorious, was the site of the final battle in Y8452* between the forces assembled in the Eastern Crusade and their enemy, the necromancer and lich Belet-Shuthnir. Located not far south of Anaharath, once Belet-Shuthnir's stronghold and the last city under her control, in the Field of the Victorious stand the petrified forms of hundreds upon hundreds of crusaders, in the exact positions and poses they were in when the necromancer cast the ritual that killed and transformed them.
Today the Field of the Victorious is a pilgrimage site for some, especially for followers of the Chaskan deity Harinna, whose clergy continue to maintain their vigil over the site, dutifully protecting and cleaning the ancient soldiers.
