((background to this scene:  Lanthriel was killed in a skirmish when he blocked an attack aimed at Took.  Took has an emotional break-down, and Kala and Vahaadi are so devastated they can’t even come to grips with what has happened.  Ultimately, it’s Vahaadi who convinces the other two that they will have to burn Lanthriel’s body to keep it from being desecrated by ghouls (flesh-eating wraiths).  He prepares to burn the body, but Kala insists that she do it.  She sets his body aflame and then the three leave, unable to bear looking back.
