The Tumulus
- Forgotten Realms : Underdark -
In a cavern about 100 hundred miles east of and 10 miles down from Waterdeep lies a mysterious halfburied object called the Tumulus. This solid stone egg measures some 2,000 feet in length, but only one curving tip of it protrudes from the earth. On its surface are inscribed symbols of death in many known and unknown languages, as well as sigils, glyphs, and signs that connote the same. Some of these symbols were charged with lethal magic capable of slaying those who looked upon them, but most such sigils that are not covered in earth have already been discharged. The Tumulus is said to predate ancient Illefarn, and rumor has it that the object is some sort of cemetery. Despite a few half-hearted attempts, however, no entrance into this tomb—if tomb it is—has yet been discovered.
