Gloombarrow

Just inside the building is a series of engraved words. Although it is dark inside, the letters can just barely be discerned:

Let all who stand here know of the valor of Arrolt, who held the Stone Pass alone against the hordes of goblinkind. May his spirit rest with the Powers Above, and his memory stand as long as human-kind dwell in these lands.

The doorway in the back of the building is the entrance to this place, the Tomb of Arrolt (lately called "Gloombarrow"). It is a necropolis of discolored white marble, cracked and pitted from ages of exposure to the elements. The granite foundations are eroded and encrusted with lichen. The name "Arrolt" is only just legible above the first doorway in faded gilt lettering.

The tomb is an elaborate underground complex, once a dwarven settlement back before Tramilar was a kingdom. The entire complex was taken over by a brotherhood of paladins nearly 600 years ago to honor Arrolt's heroism. The brotherhood dwindled over the years, until the last died during the Great Pox not long before Princess Ariella's birth. Since that time, the tomb has been overrun by monsters - like the Deathless Lord.
