Millions of dead.
Most of the bodies were able to be identified and their remains interred in the specially built war cemeteries, and honors delivered to their next of kin. But many remained unidentified. A special case stuck out though. Disfigured by the shells and charred by the fire, the remains of a solider wearing Magdali colors was found amidst the rubble in Magadan. Next to him, the remains of a woman and child. He had died protecting the two from a Red Guard, who lay not very far from the three, equally damaged by the shelling. Identifying the body byt it's physical appearance was impossible, and all distinguishing marks in the soldier's possession had long since been destroyed. The tale spread through the officers, until it reached the Capital. And it was decided. The body was recovered and transported to the Capital in Magalhâes. Outside of the Royal Mausoleum, a tomb in the Tholish burial style was built. The Unknown Soldier, as he had begun to go by, was given a burial with honors fit for a high ranking General. The inscription on the Tomb reads as follows:
DEBAIXO DESTA PEDRA JAZ O CORPO DE UM GUERREIRO MAGDALÊS,
CUJO NOME E POSTO SÓ DEUS SABE.
TRAZIDO DA RODINA,
PARA DESCANSAR ENTRE OS MAIS ILUSTRES DA NAÇÃO.
PARA QUE NÃO ESQUEÇAMOS O SEU SACRIFÍCIO EM NOME DA LIBERDADE.
ПІД ЦИМ КАМЕНЕМ ЛЕЖИТЬ ТІЛО ВОЇНА МАГДАЛІ,
ЧИЄ ІМ'Я ТА ЗВАННЯ ЛИШЕ БОГУ ЗНАЄТЬСЯ.
ПРИВЕЗЕНІ З РОДИНИ,
ЩОБ ВІДПОЧИТИ СЕРЕД НАЙВИДАВШИХ З НАЦІЇ.
ЩОБ МИ НЕ ЗАБУТИ ЇХНЮ ЖЕРТВУ В ІМ’Я СВОБОДИ.
UNDER THIS STONE LIES THE BODY OF A MAGDALI WARRIOR,
WHOSE NAME AND RANK ARE KNOWN BUT TO GOD.
BROUGHT FROM RODINA,
TO REST AMONG THE MOST ILLUSTRIOUS OF THE NATION.
LEST WE FORGET THEIR SACRIFICE IN THE NAME OF LIBERTY.
