Background:
A human temple, long fallen
and forgotten, once stood guard over
burial vaults atop this cliff.
The Lizardmen, led by a powerful
shaman, now use the site for their
sacrifices and rituals. They have taken up
residence in the accessible caves below
the cliff, while more dangerous foes lurk in
the depths.
Room Key:
General: Dark water fills passage floor to ceiling. Light water is ankle to neck deep.
