[QUOTE="carpedavid, post: 996383, member: 6971"] [b]The Tombs of Is-Poluth[/b] About twenty leagues south of Wendell's Folly and twice as many west of the Sword of Murado, lies the small coastal village of Is-poluth. Unremarkable in almost every way, the village would have died out decades ago if it weren't for one spectacularly interesting feature: a series of tombs carved into the limestone cliffs to the north of Is-poluth. The tombs are believed to be those of a small colony of ascetics that made their home in the area over three hundred years ago, but that's not what makes them remarkable. A gentle breeze, for which no one can find a source, continuously blows from the back of the tombs, but that's not what has caused the crude carvings on the wall to be worn away by the hands of the thousands of faithful that flock to the tombs every year. What is remarkable about the tombs is that those who visit them can commune with the dead. The tombs are constantly filled with sobbing widows and parents of dead children who are able to catch glimpses of their lost loved ones. The dead don't stay long - most visions fade after only a few seconds, and they can only be seen by those who had a connection to them, but even when the tombs are empty, the spirits can be heard whispering among themselves.
