The Ossuary of Sekleth and The Stain

Two Grail Tomb adventure locations in Krevborna.

The Ossuary of Sekleth

The Ossuary of Sekleth is a Grail Tomb hidden at the borders of Sibersk that houses the yellowed bones of long-dead vlaak necromancers. 

    • The bones locked within the Ossuary of Sekleth’s many chambers are heavily charged with necromantic power. 

    • The power within the skeletal remains housed in the Ossuary could be harnessed in a myriad of ways: ground up to make potions that grant arcane potency, assembled into massively powerful skeletal constructs, or used in the construction of weapons that channel necrotic force.

    • The charnel vaults of the Ossuary of Sekleth are guarded by a blind noknitsa named Lilinae and her swarm of screaming skulls; the skulls fly through the air, acting as spies and sentries, always in search of trespassers. 

The Stain

Formerly a pristine stretch of wetlands surrounding Piskaro, the Stain is now a vast bayou that has been corrupted by the chaotic magical energies leeching out of the Grail Tomb that sleeps undisturbed at the heart of the swamp. 

    • The Grail Tomb underneath the Stain is the burial place of dark priests of the Vlaak Empire.

    • The vile influence seeping from the Grail Tomb has resulted in mutations in the bayou’s vegetation and wildlife, as well as an increased toxicity of its waters. 

    • The plant life found in the vicinity of the Stain is twisted, evidencing a vast variety of alien splendor; some of the Stain’s flora have even achieved a dim sentience and a taste for human flesh.

    • Similarly, the bayou’s reptiles and insects are deformed in both body and mind—they possess a surprisingly vehement cruelty that exceeds the predatory instinct. 

    • The worst of the Stain’s corruptions are the malformed fey creatures that have become nightmarish horrors driven by rage and madness.
