The place

What it is

A sunken marble temple reclaimed by aggressive vegetation and obsidian roots that pulse with a dark rhythm.

Atmosphere

The smell of damp mulch and sweet, sickly nectar fills every corridor.

The threat

The Blighted Archdruid Malakor, who has been fused to the Obsidian Heart of the sepulcher.

History

Built by an ancient druidic order to entomb a fallen nature deity, the sepulcher was intended as a place of rest.
