Savannah Tomb

savannahtombfront.gif

The Savannah Tomb is located in the savannah, south of the entrance from the Marsh. The entrance is inside a cave set in the mountains that form the savannah's western border. The Tomb is entered through an ornate facade built into the wall of the cave, and made to look like an above-ground building.

The interior of the Tomb entrance is a large open room with four pillars in the center surrounding a ladder leading down. There is a double row of skulls leading from the front of the chamber to the back. At the back of the chamber are two braziers in line with the skulls, and a pile of bones between the braziers. There are also two wooden chests (which couldn't be opened) placed on either side of the chamber, and signs of a very large spider in the back right corner. It's likely that at least some of the contents of the chamber were not placed there by the builders of the tomb.

The ladder down leads into a small tunnel complex with Undine of various types--the Undine present seemed to be of weaker types. There were numerous Undine present at the base of the ladder, but once they were disposed of the tunnels were relatively safe.

The tunnels lead to a large room filled with dozens of Undine. At the far side of the room opposite the entrance, is a man named Nacerus, who stands in front of a door--this door leads to the place where bloodblades are manufactured. Nobody in the expedition (myself, Nuvali, and GrayGradi) could enter this area.


The architecture of the Tomb is similar to some styles of Dwarven construction on the mainland. It's possible that this place was originally build by the Dwarves, sometime before the exiles began arriving. Note also that "Savannah Tomb" is the common name for the place, but there's nothing in the structure itself that suggests it is a tomb, aside from the presence of Undine. It actually resembles a temple more than a tomb. It's not clear if Nacerus is a representative of whoever built this place, or if he came along later.
