Bone-Binder's Crypt
The silence is broken only by the scratching of dry bone.
A forgotten subterranean mausoleum carved from grey limestone. It serves as the final resting place for a cult that sought to bridge the gap between life and death.
The smell of old dust and ozone hangs heavy. Flickering blue soul-light occasionally illuminates the damp walls, and a constant, low-frequency hum vibrates through the stone floors.
☠ Threat
Vaelen the Bone-Binder, a corrupted priest who has become a Wight. His presence draws lesser undead to the site and makes the very air feel cold and draining. He seeks to reanimate his fallen brothers to reclaim the surface world.
History
Built three centuries ago by the Order of the Pale Hand, a cabal of clerics who transitioned into necromancy. They were eventually sealed inside by a fearful local militia after a ritual went wrong. The structure remains remarkably preserved, protected by the very necrotic energies that claimed its inhabitants.
