The Weeping Burial
The soil still screams with the voices of the unmourned.
A subterranean network of stone chambers buried beneath a shallow mass grave. The stench of wet earth and ancient decay permeates the damp, lightless air. Dark fungal growths cling to the corners of the ceiling, dripping with a foul-smelling ichor.
The air is cold and smells of wet soil and rancid fat. Low growls and the sound of claws on stone echo through the halls. Dim blue bioluminescent fungi provide the only natural light.
☠ Threat
The Maw-Father, a bloated and aberrant ghast, has made this crypt his throne. He commands a pack of ravenous ghouls that have begun raiding the village above for fresh meat. His presence acts as a beacon for necrotic energy, preventing the spirits of the plague victims from finding rest.
History
Originally a mass burial site for plague victims, this site became Amafreya's cradle when she survived for a year among the dead. Over time, the village built a crypt to contain the rising dead, but recent incursions by a pack of ghouls have broken the seals. The site is now a festering wound in the earth that stains the surrounding landscape and Amafreya's soul alike.
