The Maps of Myrist

Not far from the new Iksar city of Cabilis and buried deep beneath Warslik's Woods lies the ancient Crypt of Dalnir. Dalnir was a wealthy noble and great necromancer from the first Iksarian Empire. Having no aspirations for immortality but extremely vain and untrusting, Dalnir made preparations for his final resting place. The tomb housed all of the nobleman's wealth and vast library of arcane knowledge. Once completed, Dalnir ordered all servants inside and personally saw to their deaths – all but one, his most trusted servant who was to be encased within the tomb for the rest of his short life. A curse was set upon the true crypt that would hold Dalnir's body and then the tomb was sealed. Shortly thereafter, Dalnir himself was laid to final rest.

The location of his crypt had been lost over time. Recently, several Iksar criminals stumbled upon the tomb where they attempted to hide from patrols. Ignorant of the legend of Dalnir, the criminals went in to plunder the tomb. They never were found again.

The caves that lead to the entrance of the crypt are dark and dirty and are home to the voracious brutes who have roamed Warslik's Woods for centuries. Once bypassing the illusion of water that guards the crypt's entrance, the caves of Dalnir become visible. Dark and dirty, these caves are well guarded by Kly's coerced slaves and strange beings of slime and ooze.

Fine marble carved with depictions of ancient battles and victories of the Old Empire composes the crypt itself. Beyond the tomb is a mess of new construction, likely the work of Kly and his mindless minions. Most of the tunnels and rooms are brick and mortar but some are little more than mine shafts of earth and stone.
