The Whispering Crypts
Underground burial complex where architectural acoustics amplify sound into coherent whispers that grow louder and more intelligible deeper within; sarcophagi bear signs of interio...
An ancient burial complex where the dead are said to whisper secrets to those who listen. Necromancers and scholars alike are drawn here.
Cool, dry air carries faint susurrations through endless corridors of stacked stone sarcophagi. The whispers are not imagined — some acoustic property of the architecture amplifies the slightest sound into ghostly murmurs that seem to form words just below comprehension. Funerary inscriptions in a dead language cover every surface. Deeper within, the whispers grow louder and more coherent, and the sarcophagi show signs of having been opened from the inside.
