Anet

The Anets were massive tombs built by the Maphoset Empire to house great figures. To be buried in one was a symbol of greatness and immortalization in history. Mostly Anets house Emperors of the Maphoset, as they where the only ones who could afford such things. However, a few figures of massive respect and importance, notably religious ones, had Anets constructed in their name. Some where built posthumously, with their bodies preserved until construction completed.
Anets, after they where built, could later on house more than one body. More often than not they where relatives or close companions of the initial buried figure. Anets where named after the person they where built for. For example, Emperor Sekmet's Anet was known as Anet-Sekmet.
They where dotted all around the territories of the empire. Many have since been destroyed, looted, or fallen to decay, but the greatest have stood as a testament to time. It was believed the Maphosets used ancient magic to help them construct such large citadels, as modern architects are baffled by their design.
Anets are located in Qamin, the Qa'maharat desert, Renia, Albenos, Thrames, and even one within the Black Wastes.
A famous Anet is the uncompleted Anet-Soket. During it's construction, while digging the base, an odd phenomenon occurred where the torches all began to burst in a blazing hellfury. The site has since been in flames to this very day and many who approach too close inexplicably suffocate.
Other famous Anets include Anet-Sekmet, Anet-Kamos, and Anet-Turoten
