Dig Site #347
In 1872, amateur archeologist Henry Fleishman (he/him) privately funded an expedition to Oldfaire to excavate an area that has yet to be fully cataloged. This operation included over 50 scientists, historians, and laborers who either died or vanished at the site. To this day, the site remains largely undisturbed, with both equipment and bodies left behind. The dig site is denoted by signs and roped off areas from the original team's excavations.
Features
Remnants: No members of the original team hired to dig at this location are known to have survived. Most of their bodies remain at the site, bound with rope in a shape that suggests some sort of ritual was performed. The bodies were visibly exsanguinated, and each skeleton's jaw was snapped open while they were still alive.
Pulsing Heart: At the center of the dig site stands a massive stone that thrums with a steady pulse. Those who go near the heart have been reported to violently claw the skin from their faces, going so far as to pluck their eyes from their skulls, digging their fingers deep into their sockets until death.
Tablets of the Undying: Boxes of ancient tablets were uncovered during the initial dig, which depict grotesque creatures in vivid detail. The boxes also contain notes written in Ancient Fairen. No explorer has succeeded in recovering these archeological finds from Oldfaire, and there are numerous human remains nearby.
