I wonder if what nick is talking about is what the leshy mentioned. The meadow has to be special. As nick said the land isn’t tainted nor holy. It’s rather ambiguous and what if it’s more so fueled by natural/supernatural forces that have always existed but the nature of them depends on the intent for them. What if there’s a reason a lot of the family is buried under the red meadow? Perhaps someone foresaw this and the being nick is asking to be dredged up can only be pulled up by a descendant. Learn more from aleksei! The devil himself told you he is not all powerful and has little influence here despite the fact that the creatures are unholy. Which may lend credence to the idea that some other force has domain over your land. One that is and always has been.
