Outside the Graveyard of Lost Souls~
To the south, a large black iron gate offers entrance to the
long-abandoned Medienne Cemetery. The gate's hinges are rusty and creak
softly in the wind. A path leads up a slope to the north, leading toward
the Medienne town wall before turning east.

[Conner] A skeleton resets out here because the zone 'leaks.' -- It's on purpose
[Cynthia] I kinda like the name "Graveyard of Lost Souls" better than "Medienne Graveyard" ... feel like changing the area name just because of the opinion of a mortal? :)

gate~
The gate stands well over 12 feet high. It is made of iron and is
painted midnight black. The hinges are rusting and cobwebs cover the
majority of the surface. The gate handle is in the shape of a demon's
head.
You must put your hand in the mouth to open it.
~
E
demon head~
A long, oval shaped head forms the handle to the gate. The ears are
pointed, the nose is long and thin and the cheek bones pertrude from the
face. The face is black, but somehow the narrow slits, one might call
eyes, are darker still. The mouth is open as if he is shouting an
epithet at you and sharp fangs protrude out from underneath the thin black
lips.

"The earth beyond this gate is sworn by blood to a dark power...

Graveyard of Lost Souls -- Inside the Gate~
Age-old trees with gnarled limbs intertwined form a latticework of
branches overhead that blots out the sky and allows only a grey,
unfocused light through to illuminate worn and broken headstones, some
sunken nearly to the point of exposing the resting dead below. Glimpses
can be had of leaf-covered, weed-choked paths winding through the area,
and it is easy to see that few among the living have walked here in
recent years.

Undisturbed Ground~
The grass here has grown to waist height, brushing against the legs of
anyone walking through the area. The gravestones here are almost
completely obscured by the grasses, but the few that can be seen seem
fairly old and largely undisturbed. To the east stands the heavy black
iron fence that borders the cemetery.

Mist and Memories~
The area here is misty, with vision hardly possible past a few feet, even
in the daylight hours. A thick but prematurely shorted tree overshadows
an old grave marker here, fashioned in the shape of a youthful, almost
cherubic angel. Both the tree and the marker appear very old. The outer
black iron fence of the cemetery lies to the east.

Standing beneath a stunted juniper tree, a stone angel stares heavenward
with hollow, carven eyes. Mist lies all about the figure, and has
condensed in small droplets on its upturned face. Every so often, a drop
grows heavy enough that its own weight pulls it down the cheeks of the
image, giving the impression of a softly crying young girl, staring to the
skies imploringly.

At the Foot of a Hanged Man~
The only movement in this area is the slow sway of a useless, frayed rope
shifting slightly in the wind as it hangs from the branch of a tree that
sits in the very corner of the cemetery, just where the fence to the east
meets the one to the south.
~
[Conner] Legends say that a mandrake grows naturally only in the ground 'at the feet of a hanged murderer'. You can get a mandrake here, but only if you do everything in the right order.

Graveyard of Lost Souls -- Dark Canopy~
Close-set trees, their upper branches intertwined, form a thick canopy
overhead -- reinforced by vines and dead foliage, until no more than a
mere hint of light can seep through from above. The eastern edge of the
cemetery is already lost in shadows, indistinguishable from the gloom.

The air is cold and dry, the whole area suffused with a light, diffuse

A winding, faint path weaves its way through the area, sparsely populated

revealing a long-untended path. Piles of muck and trash have accumulated
against the heavy black fence to the north.

Nothing more that a twisted, ruined trail following the northern fence,
the path continues it torturous journey through the area. The dark,
looming fence to the north is far less than a straight line here, forcing
its way into the bends of the path. Here and there, a crumbling grave
stone reveals itself, lost remains of an orderly area rendered unusable
over time, the broken shapes slowly melting in the distance. Oppression
hovers in the air like an ancient, dusty shroud.

Overgrown Garden~
This place seems to have once been a small herb garden, perhaps having
something to do with the dilapidated old building directly to the west.
Now, however, the place has gone almost completely to weeds: once neat
rows are overgrown, thyme and rosemary mixed with thick, coarse grasses
and nightshade. A heavy iron fence stands to the south.

Touch of Decay~
Just to the south and west lies the corner of a mortared stone wall of
ancient, if weathered, construction. Gravestones stretch away in all
directions, many obscured by tall rangy weeds and grass. From the west
the light touch of decay carried on the breeze impinges your senses.

Center of the Cemetery~
This seems to be fairly near the center of the cemetery. To the east
there appears to be some sort of large gravesite or excavation; from here
it is difficult to tell. To the south you can barely make out the hint
of some sort of chapel, probably long abandoned, while to the west --
obviously the oldest portion of the cemetery -- stand several large
mausoleums, probably belonging to some of the wealthier Medienne families.

You survey a small open courtyard, strewn with rubble from a demolished

just to the south. The area was once paved with flat, gray flagstones,
now shattered and broken, stray weeds and wayward wildflowers nudging
through each dirt-filled crack. Beyond the ruined fountain lies a small,
derelict chapel, its stonework and statuary tilted at crazy angles.

Reopened Grave~
A freshly opened - or re-opened - grave has disgorged black soil in a
mound over the converging paths here like a man who could not stomach
what he had been fed. Ghostly, half-seen shapes can almost be seen in
the shifting light, drifting eerily among the trees, a sense of
foreboding lying heavy on the souls of those that venture here.

To the east and south are the walls of some sort of chapel, but details
about the edifice are difficult to make out in the shifting shadows and
light in this area. Bare branches from many dead trees in this area form
a latticework of shadows across any surface.

Side Chapel - Sanctuary~
You stand in a small sanctuary, where a few rotten wooden pews stand
unsteadily, arranged about the remains of a small pulpit. The tattered
remains of a curtain, used to screen off what appears to be a small room
off to the west, billow slowly back and forth, despite the deathly still
air.

The center of the graveyard to the north has sunken inward over the
years, creating a sort of natural downward funnel, at the center of which
a massive and crumbling mausoleum can barely be glimpsed . A narrow path,
overgrown with weeds and crabgrass makes its winding way north through
jutting headstones; white with age and bent at such angles from years of
weather-wear that it is difficult to tell how they were originally
arranged.

Little more than a winding clear spot in the weeds, this hardly deserves

Deep shadows fill the area, creating a sense of foreboding, a sort of
hushed noise that the crypt itself seems unwilling to break. Colored
murals, once asture and dignified, have grown dull and filthy, barely
discernable; the once radiant gilt-work and carvings are now nearly
crumbled away. Heavy stone doors are set into the walls to the east,
west and south, and a simple spiral stair rises from the center of the
room to the world above.

Within the Ancient Crypts~
The stonework here is far older and cruder than in the rest of the Crypt.
The stone-setting itself is more primitive, and it seems likely that this
is the original construction that was built onto later by the Starkadder
clan following the colonization of Medienne. It's surprising that these
walls are still standing, in fact, as they do not seem very sturdy
anymore.
~
[Merior] is this replacing the black sash that used to load upstairs?

Entering the Catacombs~
Vaulted chambers spread out to the west and south from this dark
entrance, pillars rising up like rotting trees, fading into the darkness
a few yards distant. The stonework here seems ancient, probably
predating the current city itself. The odor of wetness and decay
dominates here, hanging in the still, thick air. Shadows dance around
the area as your light flickers off the water that lies, still and dark,
as far as can be seen through the shadows to the south and west.

Ancient Catacombs -- North Wall~
There is a solemnity to the catacombs, the still, heavy air prompting
thoughts of some dark temple; the interior unlit, the floor submerged by
some long-forgotten cataclysm. Dripping water is a distant chorus,
dimmed, it seems, by the bulk of the great pillars around you, and the
heavy stone overhead.

Ancient Catacombs~
This chamber has accumulated knee-deep icy water from some underground
river that has leaked into this area. The water is dark, half-frozen,
and vile odors rise from its surface, probably originating from the
chunks of unidentified matter floating on its surface. The wall to the
north is pocked with several burial holes, most of them occupied by a
stray femur or skull.

Although cold and basically unpleasant, this hall is at least dry. The

The temperature in this passage is almost unnaturally cold, even for an

Chamber of the Well~
This rough circular chamber looks oddly out of place in the midst of a
burial catacomb. Set directly in the center of the chamber is the low
lip of an open well, which seems to be the source of the shockingly cold
air in the room. An open archway leads out of the room to the east, and
a heavy wooden door is set into the western wall.

Like the well room to the east, this chamber is circular, but similarites

Carved roughly, but showing much more effort than other areas of this
ancient abandoned crypt, this room looks as much like a throne room as it
does a mausolem. Across from the entrance, a huge throne stands on a
dais beneath an ancient heraldic tapestry, on which sits the dessicated
frame of a long-dead, or a least long-buried, barbarian king.

Miasma in Darkness~
A blanket of sadness, thick and supporting the misery of hundreds of
years of pain, envelops the stifling crypt air. To the west, a great
stone portal stands in the shadows, and to the east, the hallway
continues into the wellspring of loss that seems to fill the air.

Uneven Shadows~
Ebon shadows crawl over the ground, the heavy, close walls snuffing out
any light that might filter away from your current location. The floor
is uneven, cracked and broken, covered in bits of garbage and broken
stonework.

Eerie shadows and mystic light unites, creating a sense of disorientation.
Sodden dirt covers aged flooring stones, the uneven floor barely

The Archangel~
This vaulted chamber is framed by pillars at each of its four corners
that rise to a peak in the very center of the room. All the walls are
heavily decorated with murals, but for the south, which is dominated by
an open archway. On the north wall there is a huge mural of an angelic
male, painted in such a way that it appears to be holding a large seal
that is set into the wall itself.
~
[Marek] The door to the north will only open once End Game and Riddle of Time are passed.

Tapestries and Stone~
The walls of this chamber are carved from dark granite, the floor smooth,
but worn. At several points along the wall there are ancient tapestries
hung as memorials to the dead buried here, their original colors and
weave quite ruined with the passage of time. Heavy stone arches frame
dark openings to east and west, and a stone portal is set into the south
wall.

Close Quarters~
The finely crafted granite walls are smeared with old blood and raked by...
it looks like someone took a weapon to them. Tattered clothing, crushed
bones, and shattered armor and weaponry lie on the floor in an odd sort
of piled ridge that runs from the door right across the room to the far
wall, almost as though the things were swept there by a giant broom.
An inscription is carved into the far wall, just above a small opening.

Walls of dusty stone form the corridor around you. Murals line the

Bottom of the Short Stairs~
This small chamber appears to be a dead end. Lying at the bottom of a
short flight of stairs, all available wall space is covered by tapestries
that are still in decent condition, relative to the rest of the area.
The only visible means of egress is back up the stairs to the east.

Close and Tired~
The stone walls of this corridor seem almost suffocatingly close. The
worn granite of the floor is dull and lackluster with many years of use,
scraped by countless booted feet and heavy objects dragged along the
floor for some unknown purpose. The hallway continues east and west.

Chill Air~
The corridor runs east and west here, and the air is cold enough to let
you see your own breath. The pillars here are oddly mismatched with
the rest of the granite stonework -- they seem to be a marble of some
sort, black, striated, with a dark red vein.

Nearing the End~
Patterns are carved all along the walls here in a heavy maze of

companions throughout this exploration. The floor is level, fairly

The carved patterns in the wall seem to be some sort of ritualistic

End of the Journey~
The hallway ends to the west in a dark, polished stone door set with many
runes. The floor and walls are polished here where all other things are
covered in grime, the walls engraved with what appear to be ancient
heirophantic symbols. A biting cold that goes straight to the core of
your being radiates from the western portal.

Carved beautifully, with an attention to detail that shames even the
finest living noble houses, this room is nothing less than a throne room,
and there are signs that the occupant hopes to attain even more. A large

sits the earthly form of the creature once known as the archimage
Croazner.

The walls of this chamber are carved from dark granite, and the floor is
smooth, but worn. In the center of the room, two 'footprints' have been
carved into the stone, in the center of a wide circle engraved on the

brass orbs that rest in circular grooves in the floor to the left and
right of the footprints. Inscriptions are carved into the far wall, and
the circle on the floor also carries an engraving.

Ancient Catacombs~
Like the rest of the catacombs, this area is noxious in a way that
suggests that nothing which enters here could remain clean for long: even
the frost that forms on the walls and pillars seems dingy. The way to
the south might be somewhat less submerged, although it's difficult to
tell from here. To the west the shadow of a blocking wall can barely be
made out.

Slender tendrils of mist coil over the water's surface, like the ghosts
and memories of those long dead. The splash of water nearby echoes in
huge area, but the air is still. Burial slots are sealed up along these
walls, their contents safe from raiding.

Quiet ripples shimmer over the water. Thin and wispy cobwebs hang down
from the ceilings above, a chill breeze slipping through the pillars and
about you with whispering sighs. The catacombs stretch out in all
directions from you, as does the water that rises up to your waist.

Ancient Catacombs~
Mysterious, vague shadows flicker through the area, heightening feelings
of insecurity, as if the catacombs themselves take exception to intrusion.
The darkness here assumes a life of its own, black cast upon unrelieved
black. You may wade through the murky catacombs to the north, east and
south.

Ancient Catacombs~
The water's depths swirl coldly around your feet, dark and chill. The
submerged floor makes the ceiling seem even higher, the pillars taller
and more ominous in their looming. The general feeling is that of your
own insignificance in the face of these ancient stones.

To the south, the floor rises above the waterline, but here it is as deep
as most of the rest of these half-flooded chambers. Lights show little
more than water to the north and east, and cobwebs hanging from the
ceiling, white and wispy.

Ancient Catacombs~
The quiet of the area is occasionally broken by the sounds of things
unseen moving through the darkness. Ancient pillars stand around you,
blocking all but the briefest glimpses of the surrounding area. To the
east and west, the floor is relatively dry, but to the north only the
shimmer of water can be seen.

The pillars loom all about you, making you feel as though you stand in

The floor here is higher than most of the rest of the catacombs, and thus
above the level of the water by a few inches. The floor is strewn with
cast-up garbage and loose stones, but it is altogether more comfortable
than being hip-deep in cold water. All about you stand pillars like
sentinels, blocking your view after no more than a few dozen feet.

Frozen Hall~
The temperature in this passage remains at the near freezing levels of a
mountain pass, obviously unnatural even for this place. The walls are,
in fact, crusted with a fine layer of frost, and seems to have been that
way for a very long time. The passage leads to the east and west.

Pit of the Crypt Dweller~
The water is thick with dirt and garbage, sight is almost impossible in
this murk. The liquid gets in your eyes and mouth, forcing you to
suppress a powerful gag reflex. The only way out of here is by swimming
up to the surface, but you can see even in this murk that tentacles from
the crypt dweller curl all around the opening.
~
[Merior] are tentacles there when mob is dead?
[Marek] yeah, they've sorta half grown into the walls in places... like tree roots.
