Sadly, without a more complete knowledge of Sheikah culture and history, nothing may truly be learned from this. As the Sheikah are the watchers and founders of this village, as well as being sworn to the Royal Family, it may be that this grave is a creation of theirs and its protections were put in place by certain members of their tribe. The floor is scattered with the bones of men and beasts, the signs admonish venturing forward, warning that, “Those who break into the Royal Tomb will be obstructed by the lurkers in the dark,” and the largest chamber within the crypt is the home to several Redeads, who guard the safe paths through smoking pools of acidic vapors. Like tombs of kings, queens, emperors, and empresses from ancient civilizations all around the world, this crypt is not without its secrets and deterrents. The walls and doors are inscribed with Hylian text, giving them the appearance of a long epitaph (though these symbols simply represent the sounds of the Japanese language instead of something with deeper meaning). Their insignia is found upon the lintel of the antechamber, and there are several symbols of the Triforce found within, as well. The choice to place such vile structures so near to this village creates a dichotomy of light and darkness - what is good is good, and worth protecting, and that which threatens it is unarguably evil.īy far the most simple, and, by comparison, the most serene, the Tomb of the Royal Family purportedly holds the remnants of certain members of the Royal Family.
Even in the beginning of the game, however, Kakariko already exhibits softer shades of malevolence - the graveyard is rife with Poes that grow violent when their graves are disturbed, and the morbid House of Skulltula lies almost at the center of the village, ignored and mistrusted by those that dwell near it.
Like Hrothgar’s Hall in Beowulf, such beacons in a dim world invariably attract evil. The Tomb of the Royal Family, the Bottom of the Well, and the Shadow Temple are all parts of a vast city of the dead, writhing and decaying in sepulchral secrecy beneath a peaceful town of the living. The area behind Kakariko Village is one repressed from memory, hidden in shadow even in the plainest light of day. The representation of death found within the depths of the Shadow Temple is that of the transience of life, or of the snuffing out and annihilation of existence however, this sanctuary is not solely a glorification of passing from life into that which lies beyond - there are many ways to die, and this place is a deranged testament to suffering, anguish, and horror. Each portrays death, yet in a drastically disparate way. Thank you for joining me on this journey.The remaining two temples are those of spirit and shadow. For the past five years, I have been designing and creating handmade garments.Ĭari Slings is a combination of my love for babywearing and textiles. I love and support handmade goods and work at home mothers, for I am one myself. It's a lifestyle, one of keeping our children and family close to our hearts, through our parenting and life choices. Our philosophy is that babywearing is so much more than simply wearing your child. I am mother to three young children, and my husband and I have worn our children since birth almost 9 years ago. It is our desire to fuse our Asian and West Indian cultures with American textiles and babywearing practices. I was born and raised on the island of Trinidad, an island known for its gorgeous landscapes, diversity, culture and food. The name Cari Slings is a tribute to my Caribbean heritage.
Our wraps are woven solely with natural fibers and we strive to work closely with our mills to create unique, quality textiles that can be handed down to your children's children. One of mills local to us, keeping with our desire and commitment for growing and sustaining our local economy. We are working closely with two different mills to provide a variety of wrap designs and hopefully soon, fiber choices. We are a small family business located in North Carolina, creating and manufacturing high quality, boutique style machine woven wraps.Īll our products are woven and finished in the US, and we strive to keep our products and labor as local to us as possible.
