## History

The Boneyard's history is a shrouded mystery. Some sayings regarding the mystical place claim that is a "bridge" that connects Earth to The Otherworld. This theory can justify the tremendously thick fog that gained promincence over the territory.

## Description

The Willow's Bell Boneyard is an undisclosed graveyard that is located on the northern region of Los Angeles, California. There is a dirt road that directly leads to the location and haves bone-made ornaments hanging in the trees, with each one representing the sacred presence of the dead. The Boneyard itself is surrounded with metal fences and a metal gate covered with dying flora, and is infested with a tremendously thick fog, implying a ghostly presence within these grounds.

### Landmarks

The Willow's Bell Boneyard is composed mainly with multiple stone-made graves, with some of them with fractures and covered with vines and flora. Besides the grave zones itself, there are other landmarks that can be found in the Boneyard. The Warehouse is an old wooden barn that resembles a small church and has multiple tools inside of it, such as shovels, pickaxes and stakes. At the top of the Warehouse, there is a bell that rarely and ominously sounds off, with its meaningful sound signifiying that the gates between Earth and Heaven are opening to let a soul rest in peace.

Another landmark that is located not-so-far from the Boneyard's entrance, is the Purely Weeping Willow tree accompained by an abandoned funeral hearse, which can be an allusion to the graveyard's name. There is a story told by Anastasia Wynter to Mary Jane Fitzgerald, who said that a funeral director, who presumably builded the Boneyard, left his favorite hearse next to the tree because he felt that the job he was doing is going to be his last, so he decided to commit suicide and mark his defining moment on the Boneyard. The last but most important landmark of the mythical place is the World Pillar Hill. Considered as "the gate between Heaven and Earth", the World Pillar Hill is the zone with the most purifying energy found in the secluded location, and is commonly used to let spirits go through The Otherworld and have a newfound life in Heaven.
