QUEST: The World Tomb

First Level

1. Entrance

Pillars line the walls along with old runes. A large carved door stands with a stone keyhole. The artwork describes a battle with all soldiers being injured beyond the point of discovery and half of them already 1 foot into the grave. Above the big door stands in old celestial runes:

Let the dead bury the dead.

or "låt de döda begrava de döda."

2. Entrance Hallway

A baron room sits here, a couple small stools and tables decorate it's edges as well as candle holders that could be used to light up the empty hallway. 3 doors line the wall opposite from the entrance, equally spaced. Each contain imagery of heroes, with their unique abilities. And they're all heavy stone doors, without handles or keyholes and a candleholder to either side.
And a door to the west, this one does seem to have a handle, but no keyhole. There's imagery of a wise woman on it, with plenty of books behind her. Around her head seems to be a crown of stars, and an inscription on the top of the doorway that reads in old celestial runes:

I have cities, but no houses.
I have mountains, but no trees.
I have water, but no fish.
What am I?

or "Jag har städer, men inga hus. Jag har berg, men inga träd. Jag har vatten, men ingen fisk. Vad är jag?"

3-4-5. Entry Crypts

These doors are unlocked but require a smart way to open them, just pushing them will topple the doors and break them. Inside are small catacombs, walls filled with large stone coffins labeled the names of different adventurers, known and unknown to the adventurers of Rosewood. The Coffins contain the bodies of those adventurers but they don't have a seam, although they're hollow they can only be openened by breaking the stone.

6. Entry Major Crypt

Once they enter the correct password (A map) in any language, the door will unlock (as per the Arcane Lock spell).
Inside sits a large tomb with a riddle on top of it:

This is a story about 3 adventurers.
It begins not very happily however. As they were captured by an evil shroud of darkness, thrown into a dungeon protected with many numbered hallways blocked off with powerfull magic. And they were to be fed to the ancient evil black dragon, Poverth, Lord Of The Black, for entertainment.
However, 1 of them would be allowed to excape if they could pass a challenge. They of course chose the wizard, the wisest of the three. To enter the challenge, as she cast a spell upon herself allowing her 2 companions to listen along to the challenge.
An ominous voice proclaims that she must enter a code consisting of 3 positive whole numbers in ascending order so that each number is greater than or equal to the one that comes before it. She could ask for 3 clues but if she said anything else or given a wrong answer she'd be thrown back into the dungeon.
The first clue is that the product of the three numbers equals 36.
When she asks for the second clue she gets told the sum of the numbers is equal to the hallway she entered through.
The other adventurers were sure she remembered the number of the hallway. But she asks for the third clue. which is: The Largest number appears only once.
With this the wizard was able to excape and the other 2 adventurers were fed to the dragon. Although they might have been able to figure out the code by themselves.

Underneath the riddle are 3 rotating numbered discs.
(Answer the 229)
This leads to 7.

Entering this room from a smaller door the first thing you notice is the light coming from above, it is immidiately noticable as being the same as the outside light. Although can't see anything on the roof. Like a window where light comes through but you can't see through it. And opposite of you is a small starway leading up to a large woven wooden door. As if roots have formed to create an entrance. 2 Holes forming a weird keyhole in it's center.

(DC 15 History) This room feels familiar. (DC 25 History) This room is where you get dropped when you die.
