The Reliquary of the First Architect

As the heavy stone door grinds open, the stale air of the millennia-old vault rushes out to greet you. Dust motes dance in the flickering light, illuminating a pedestal where the remains of an ancient scholar lie in state. Scattered among the debris and shattered ceramic urns are remnants of a civilization's peak, including objects of magical utility and luxury that have miraculously survived the steady creep of damp and decay within these deep ruins.
