The place

What it is

A sprawling subterranean burial complex defined by oppressive moisture and grand Gothic arches.

Atmosphere

The air is frigid and smells of wet limestone and ancient copper.

The threat

Lady Elara Malcorvus, the Mourning Wraith, rules the central hub.

History

Originally the grand resting place of the Malcorvus nobility, this ossuary was built during the peak of the Gothic Era to honor the dead.

Roll a rumor

  1. 1The fog in the Malcorvus crypts can steal the breath right out of a man's lungs.
  2. 2Lady Elara was buried with a ring that can control the very mists of the valley.
  3. 3A secret drainage tunnel leads from the old well in the village straight into the ossuary.
  4. 4The sound of weeping in the crypts isn't the dead; it's the stone itself mourning.
