Description
Ulmavonee is newer than Ulvanensee, and only about 120 years old. The Ulzhavada moved their family crypt there due to expenses, down "a separate staircase down to the catacombs." There were few graves at the ground level. Ulmavonee's morgue was "really just a room with a table in it." The Ulzhavadeise entrance to the catacombs was "a square white marble staircase lit with gas globes. And Ulmavonee’s catacombs were white and square and well-lit, too . . . The Ulzhavadeise revethmerai were grouped together around an intersection, where the catacombs of Ulmavonee met the main trunk of the system of tunnels beneath the city. There was a small shrine to Ulis, as clean and new as the rest of Ulmavonee. The passage to the ulimeire was only partly invested with revethmerai, the rest of the space being taken up with an enormous marble high relief of the Five-Fold Harmony, rendered as Anmura, Osreian, Csaivo, Ulis, and Cstheio Czireizhasan in a line holding hands. The sculptor had rendered them as elves and had done exquisitely detailed work on their hair and jewelry.” Ulmavonee was "well-lit and well-squared throughout", with white marble for the ulimeire and tombs. "Plaster walls and parquet floors did for the rest: the prelates' house, the archive, the map room."

There are a great number of ledgers for those buried at the ulimeire.

Kivora and Satha work as sextons at Ulmavonee. There is also a local stonemason who does work on the ulimeire, and their grandfather created the Five-Fold Harmony. Veltanezh also has junior prelates who work with him.

Thara Celehar noted that Veltanezh would let people with nowhere else to go stay there overnight.
