Tombs of the Shadowless Kings

The Tombs of the Shadowless Kings

The Tombs of the Shadowless Kings are a repeatable Vault.

Description:

In a rearing outcrop of lion-coloured rock, labourers carved tombs for the first kings of this land. Those kings had hoped to be immortal, and perhaps one of them is. The others lie among their trinkets. A hereditary order of guardians watches closely. [You've found all the Expeditions in the Rending Mountains, although you can find and visit the Tombs several times.]

Start Description:

We must penetrate the mountains, pass the guardians, and brave the curse the Shadowless Kings left behind. Perhaps then we will find treasures.

Success Description:

We roll the stone aside, and light floods the tomb. Here is the king, dried to papery leather and crumbling bone. He does not move. This one was not immortal.

End Description:

The Shadowless Kings were buried only with their most personal treasures. They expected no luxury in the afterlife. Here is a tiny cache of the things this king valued.
