The Mausoleum of Molo, the Arch-Lich
(Exits East Down)
You see a large mausoleum resting in a hushed silence. A cloud of darkness
envelopes the tomb, and the essence of evil permeates the very air. A low
mist surrounds your feet. A dais extends from the south wall, forming a
circular area. The floor, steps, and walls are of black obsidian, highly
polished and gleaming. Four steps lead to the upper platform, and upon it
sits a great throne of dark purplish basalt, with leering demon faces and
carved grinning skulls.
Look North:
A tapestry depicts the Mark of the Black Conclave, made of the burning
symbol of the Arch-Lich embedded on the unholy Crest of Lord Nash.
Look South:
A tapestry depicts the Arch-Lich as a mortal cackling joyfully as he
tears cities, mortals, and a large pirate ship torn asunder with dozens
of large falling fiery rocks.
Look West:
Your eyes play tricks. You see darting movement out of the corner of
your eye, just at the edge of vision; but when you shift your gaze
towards such, of course, there is nothing there at all.
Look Up:
The ceiling's exact height is not discernible due to the inky darkness
above you.
Look Down:
A solid obsidian grate embossed with the symbol of the Arch-Lich melds
perfectly into the floor.
Look dais:
Four steps lead to the upper platform, and upon it is a great throne of
dark purplish basalt, with leering demon faces and carved grinning skulls.
Above the throne, in an old language, are chiseled some words you can barely
make out.
Look throne:
Written in the ancient language Thoras (old-common) are the words: "Seek the
Black Conclave if power is what you wish".
- Molo was the only immortal allowed a 'down' exit to his Office.
