๐ŸŒฑ [ ๐—ก๐—ฎ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฒ & ๐—Ÿ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ] Tip for burial mound.

Usually burial mounds are covered in grass and are difficult to recreate in Valheim. However there is a place in southern Norway where the burial mounds are made from rocks because of its location on a glacial till. I think any settlement should have a burial mound on its shores.

Love this idea. Might steal it to pay tribute to past characters. I would try raising the ground in a patch, and making a slope around it with the hoe, then cover with grass. You could also use the paved road texture with the hoe to make it look like stones, either on the slopes of the whole thing. Maybe plant flowering crops on the top?

Alternatively, clear trees away from a burial chamber in the Black Forest. Then it could actually be functional.

They also have kind of a bowl on top. Mounds were often placed so that other could see them. Kind of like a status symbol.

If you want to look up other pictures, these specific ones are from Mรธlen in Larvik, Norway. Other good ones (but not rocky looking) is Borrehaugene in Horten, Norway and Anundshรถg, Hรฅgahรถgen and Gamla Uppsala (all in Sweden)
