From the road, it looks like a church of broken teeth rising from the stone, built of bone and carved stone. Its outer walls are banded with funerary reliefs, all worn to the grain of the rock, and the few windows are narrow and seem to drink all light and only whisper back.The bones are not laid neat as in pious necropoli. They are threaded into the stone of the place and the stonework itself cut to resemble bones again with buttresses like ribs, skulls set like mosaics under vaulted ceilings, femurs stacked as pilings. The dead are architecture and the architecture is the sermon. Those who linger hear names, bargains, last breaths muttered and braided together, a constant litany of claim and counterclaim.Built by a conclave of mourners and sorcerers who feared that memory itself would rot; they bound the whispered histories to the bones with rites of iron and salt, trading living years for a vault that keeps the past. Power seekers come to pluck useful lies from the walls. Pilgrims come to seek absolution or to bargain back a lost word. And the ossuary answers only at a price, speaking in echoes.Not quite a five-room dungeon, but hey, six rooms is close enough, no?The 1200 dpi versions of the map were drawn at a scale of 300 pixels per square and are 12,000 x 13,200 pixels (40 x 44 squares). To use this with a VTT you would need to resize the squares to either 70 pixels (for 5′ squares) or 140 pixels (for 10′ squares) – so resizing it to either 2,800 x 3,080 or 5,600 x 6,160, respectively.[URL unfurl="true"]https://dysonlogos.blog/2025/11/21/the-ossuary-of-whispers/[/URL]</blockquote>
