Dustfall Sepulcher
The silence of the dead is a heavy shroud.
A cramped, sand-choked tomb carved into a limestone cliffside. Dust-laden air muffles every footstep, and the smell of ancient preservation herbs lingers in the dark.
The air is freezing and tastes of dry bone. Lighting is non-existent except for thin shafts of moonlight from cracks in the ceiling, and a low, rhythmic scratching sound echoes through the stone walls.
☠ Threat
A restless spirit named Silas Dustfall seeks to reclaim his stolen family crest and views all living intruders as common thieves. His presence causes the dead to rise and the very walls of the crypt to weep a dark, oily residue that slickens the floors.
History
Built three centuries ago to house the nobility of a fallen merchant house, the Dustfall Sepulcher was intended as a place of eternal rest. However, a local graverobber's mistake woke an ancestral spirit, turning the tomb into a site of necrotic corruption. Now, the dead no longer sleep, and the shifting sands above have sealed the main exit, leaving only a side fissure for entry.
