Ławglasqaqquit

Fionn kicked down the crumbling wooden door with a creak. The planks scattered on the ground amongst cobwebbed stones. This entrance was many centuries old, yet its age paled in comparison to the depths of the barrows as they ventured in. Hundreds of warriors were laid to rest as they crept through, with weapons clasped to their chests. A faint sense of dread permeated the air, as roots poked through the earth roof above. The Naysayers, eager not to wake the dead nor disrespect their memory, took a good look at the place and shivered. There would be better places to camp found outside, surely. Wind, rain, and cold were unfavourable, but the dead were even less so.- The Naysayers consider camping within the barrows before leaving.Ławglasqaqquit (the Green-Hand Barrows) were a mazelike burial barrows in the west Danderillon. They were initially built in the -8800s. Its original entrance was situated in the hills southeast of the village of Y'rontaoq, later Yurontok. The extent of the barrows were between south of the river Reidos and north of the Vikreux river. Over time through history, they were used to bury highly important people too. 
== History ==
The village leaders were buried in the main chambers there, as well as the side chambers housing the bodies of the Ła:uit (Greenwardens), the protectors of the tomb in life and death. 
The barrows were expanded as generations went on and on. By the present day, they stretched southwards to the edge of the city of Naysayer, and down to the Upperdark and even in some places the Underdark. The second entrance to the barrows was on the Vikreux river outside Appledore (later Naysayer), and it came to be known as the Ithildin Barrows. By the present day, most of the Anoquit shamans and Ła:uit wardens were buried under Waterdeep/Halcyon, and the barrows were accessible at some points from the sewers and other catacombs of Waterdeep. The ends of the barrows that trailed southward toward the Vikreux (near Naysayer) would have contained non-Anoq dead warriors and others, perhaps having been used by the ancient Vreigardts or other peoples.
== Inhabitants ==
* Most notably within Ławglasqaqquit was buried Meekadox Ławglas, whom the tomb was built for and named after. He was buried clasping his langseax, Vengeance's End, unimaginably deep down. He was interred in the -8800s.
* The overgrown home of the fey dragon Viridian was told in story to be down in the Barrows, almost unfindable yet in its own 'oasis' of green. He made Ławglasqaqquit his permanent home sometime in the seventh millennium pre-DR.
* Some old Lusken Emperors and Empresses were buried within the tomb in their own newly dug chambers, including 
** Regulus III - interred in 364
** Bellatrice I - interred in 610
** Anaiana the Grey - interred in 1112
** Romulus XIX Valaiolokus, the last Emperor of the Lusken Empire - interred in 1523 by merchants of the Vortic Mercatorium.
* Vittoro Cassalanter, the father of Lord Amelio Cassalanter, was interred here too. His body was brought from Cassalanter Kerosene and Tar where he had been ambushed by rotten bandits, and laid to rest a year after his death in 1502 by a close friend of his, Cpt. Boris Chaffwheat.
* Lucrezzia Calinezzi's body was laid to rest in the Barrows by her son Blanco and her daughter Coronita after her death of lung disease in 1521.
* In the 1510s, the petrified corpse of the beholder Quoronduscha, Queen of the Eye Thieves, was interred in a hidden chamber. She was dug up and used as a sort of ornament by the Thavians. After the 'Red Hawk Down' incident, she was reinterred in 1530. 
* Machavellio Disforza personally moved the ashes of his father, mother, and aunt (Colombo, Prella and Arronda Maria), from Disforza Manor to the Barrows in 1563 after Halcyon became his. 
== Visitors ==
A surprising amount of people passed through Ławglasqaqquit on their travels.
* In 1502, the Naysayers took refuge in the Barrows outside Waterdeep overnight, but decided not to venture too far in, instead making camp in the entrance hall for fear of the storm outside but the dead within. They were narrowly passed over by the warring Adventurer's Guild, Carmogan Garrison, and Waterdeep City Watch.
* In 1512, Velarin Naysayer was kidnapped by deep gnomish fixers and brought through the Barrows near Naysayer to the Underdark, down to the City of Labyrynth. Hours later, the trail was followed by Brendan Diddwyn, Gatlam Badnapper, Copy of Maltag & Lionel Messi, and Jed Wood. They destroyed a few skeletons by accident, as well as smashing a large red ruby inlaid into one skeleton's ribs.
* In the late 1520s until Midwinter 1530, the Thavians made their hideout in the antechambers of the Waterdeep Barrows under the south walls. The entrance to the site had been previously built into a small hideout with marble floors and gothic cavernous ceilings with chandeliers, many years prior - it was still cobwebbed when they moved in. After the 'Red Hawk Down' incident, Archie Grimes and company led an assault on the barrows, killing most of the Thavians and convincing/threatening the living ones to now serve Archie's new thieving guild. After this, the Barrows were abandoned yet again.
