The Reliquary of the Silent Architect

Deep within the crumbling foundations of a nameless empire, the party discovers a sanctum untouched by the passage of centuries. Dust motes dance in the light of their torches, illuminating a stone plinth surrounded by the remains of those who guarded these treasures. The air is heavy with the scent of ozone and old parchment, suggesting that the magic contained here remains as potent as the day the ruins were abandoned. Scattered among the bones of a long dead high priest are items that shimmer with an inner light, appearing as if they were placed there only yesterday.
