The Maps of Myrist

Befallen's danger lies not only in the surplus of undead creatures mindlessly lurking in every corner of this compound, but also in the irreparable damage done from countless years of desert exposure. The floors are unstable and oftentimes, unwary adventurers have fallen to their deaths or worse.

The construction and layout of the area also lends some difficulties in traveling from level to level. Each floor is guarded by a door that requires a key – perhaps the only remnant of the former intelligence to have inhabited this place. Adventurers have said that the living Shadowknights who claimed this place as their research grounds hold the only keys to the descending levels of the compounds, and the only way one might retrieve these keys is to face the Shadowknight in battle.

Many powerful Necromancers dwell here, as well as many undead creatures that will disease you with their very touch.

Befallen has much to offer visitors. Practitioners of the dark arts such as Shadowknights and Necromancers often come here to collect bone chips for their dark summonings. Clerics and Paladins likewise venture here, for their powers granted by their deities are quite effective against the undead creatures that inhabit the area.
