The Center Tomb:
The light here is very dim, only being cast from candles perched in the four corners of the mausoleum. There is a large upraised crypt with a grand monumental headstone rising nearly up to the sloped ceiling. The headstone is carved with a black marble cross placed on top of it. The tomb was once respectfully decorated with intricate hieroglyphs, but has since been defaced with crude pentagrams and blasphemous graffito. Someone great and noble had been buried here and now a cruel darkness has come to ravage any glory from this fallen hero. The avian-sized insects scuttle over the crypt’s stone lid, leaving trails in the dust. From somewhere you can feel a faint breeze, fresh air sneaking into this dark and forbidding place. You can vaguely make out footsteps on the filthy floor. It looks like this tomb has had other visitors drawn in by their overpowering curiosity. The scent of death here is the strongest and the longer you remain, the more nauseous you become.
