History of the Crypts

Just southeast of the kingdom town of Stonebridge lies the most honored burial place in all of Ehb. Here, the bodies and bones of all the Kings and Queens of Ehb are laid alongside the Commanders, Grand Mages, and heroes of the 10th Legion. Consecrated by the returning 10th Legion as they fought to free Ehb from the tyranny of the Seck. The Crypt of the Sacred blood is built on the site of one of the bloodies battles of the liberation.
As Legion Commander Karese Noanni surveyed the dead following the battle, he ordered that a space be cleared in the center and excavations be begun. 'From this day forth there shall be nothing accomplished that was not purchased with the blood of these valiant hearts.' Noanni is reported to have said.
Over the centuries, wealthier families installed layer upon layer of secret passages and traps to discourage looters from disturbing their interred loved ones. Today the Crypt is considered unnavigable, and most burials are instead performed in graveyards surrounding the crypt entrances.
