Yeah, well he has a wife and son, so that would make sence.

Well, the very best build-ups appear first as little hints. Subtle stuff. Like... maybe your god notices a shadow following him. Or a god-killing knife happens to come up missing. People start to look at him strangely... perhaps he starts to become a bit paranoid. Over time, these hints multiply, and the reader starts to figure out what's going to happen... usually before the character does. That way they anticipate the scene itself, are practically wriggling for it.

*lol* What's with the 'god-killing daggers' everywhere? It is a good idea...
I actually think that I have an idea, but this is really helping.

'twas just a suggestion. ^^ Good luck with it. ^_^

*bows* Thank you so very much. You've been very helpful.

Alright, had to come back. What about for a grave marker?
I want to make it something that tells in a few short words how tragic his death was.

Did this character have any particular token that he carried around all the time? A necklace, a ring? A helm, or a weapon? Something like that could be mounted on a simple tombstone or pole. It always makes the scene more emotional to have someone there when the item is placed, too, lamenting or discussing it.

Hmm... he did carry two sords with him, that isn't a bad idea, I never though of that.

Hrrrm...
***wonders if you could arrange his stuff in the shape of some sort of religious symbol from his world*
Or maybe these things have nothing to do with him...

He's not very heavy on the religious stuff.
I like the idea with the weapons, which I added... but I still need something to write on the stone marker.

I guess that would depend on who writes it. If it's just an undertaker or something similar, what's on the marker would be pretty cut and dry. Born x, died y, RIP. But if it was a friend or even an enemy, that person should have something to say that would connect 'em to the living impaired. ^^
