Tomb of the Never Dying
Purpose / Function
To store and catalogue ancient items, creatures and treasure. To serve as a great crypt for the dead of Corinthia so that they may serve Corinthia better in their afterlives.
Entries
There are several large doors standing hundreds of feet tall, That seem to open with great ease. They are stationed dozens of miles apart across the western face of the tomb. So far fourteen such entrances have been located, The assumption is that these entrances continue as far as the structure does, Which seems to be endless.
Sensory & Appearance
The structure is well lit from magical sources within, The tomb is a cool to the skin temperature all throughout, Strangely not cold however. There is no breeze and even though the entrance seems to be aflood with the walking dead, There is no scent permeating the tomb.
Denizens
Thus far only accursed undead have been found within the tomb. No surviving Corinthians have been located thus far.
Contents & Furnishings
In one room there was a great crystal suspended from the ceiling, dozens of feet tall and 10 feet across both lengthways and widthwise. Another room that contained a great cursed being seems to have strange etheral lights cascading into the room from unseen sources.
Valuables
Large stashes of jewels and assorted treasure have been found in the entrance floor, However it must be assumed that great treasures lie further within; For example, an orb of shadow was found by the team within the great Crystal. It appears to be a lesser artifact, Which given how early into the tomb it was found, Implies greater treasure within.
Hazards & Traps
In the room with the crystal a devious trap was laid, Large groups of undead were sealed within the diagonal rooms, When the great crystal was shattered the rooms opened all at once, Flooding into the chamber. Causing the death of one of the group. Vekna, Who bravely gave her life to save her comrades.
Architecture
Great Marble columns adorn the outside of the intricately carved stone walls, Bringing to mind the Parthenon of Athens.
