North-west of a forest, near where a main
road meets a lesser used coastal road; a
lonely scrub-covered hill rises. Over 6
centuries ago, the royal family, in power in the
region, began to bury its dead within the
wind-swept grounds. The hill’s original name is
lost to time; the locals now call it Cemetery
Hill.
Cemetery Hill rises perhaps 200 feet
above the local roadway, covered by its sparse
growth of trees, bushes and long grass. The
main approach, on the west side, is still
usable. Horses can also slowly pick their way
overland from any direction. As they close,
Horses and Steeds become nervous. There is
power here, probably a Node of Magicks, but
they are aligned with the Night. Darkness
holds sway here, perhaps the Darkness of the
Night or perhaps the Darkness of Evil.

1: Central Tomb
The entryway. Stairs descend into the earth to
a landing, thence to a doorway. Inside a short
landing and a 2
nd
set of stairs
A: The crypt chamber, 10 feet by 20 feet with
an 8 foot ceiling. The tomb is 8 feet long, 3
feet wide and rises 4 feet off the ground. It is
made of stone with the top lid elaborately
carved in a likeness of the Emperor.
B: & C: Ceremonial chambers, waiting-
meditation rooms
2-7: Lesser Tombs
The entryway is similar to that of central
tomb. Stairs descend into the earth to a
landing, thence to a doorway. Inside a short
landing and a 2
nd
set of stairs leading to a
crypt chamber of the same size as Central
Tomb, 10 feet by 20 feet with an 8 foot
ceiling. The tombs are the same size as the
Central Tomb but not as elaborately made.
Underground
Over the years a small number of
passageways have been dug, by thieves and
grave robbers, to connect some of the larger
barrows. Most of the tunnels begin in the
central barrow and radiate outwards. One
tunnel leads out of the site entirely, exiting the
hillside several hundred feet away. All of the
tunnels are narrow and low, dug through the
earth and rarely reinforced. Hence they are
subject to accidental and deliberate collapse
