For centuries, villagers from the area have brought their dead
to the Tomb of the Iron God, a largely-forgotten, minor deity of
the underworld who guards the spirits and bodies of the dead. A
community of monks has maintained an ancient temple above the
god’s sacred underground catacombs since before recorded history,
performing funeral rites and bringing bodies below to rest in the
Iron God’s protection.
You hear several rumors and some definite information about
the Iron God’s temple in the hills. About two months ago,
lightning filled the skies over the remote monastery. According
to the rural hill-people who live near the area, all the buildings
of the temple were destroyed in one night by hundreds of
bolts of lightning. They believe the Iron God destroyed his
own monks as a punishment for their greed. All of them agree
that heretical monks had been accumulating great treasures
in the underground catacombs instead of maintaining the
spartan life they used to follow. So far, no one has dared to
explore the catacombs, so the monks’ ill-gotten treasures must
still be there, ripe for the taking.
