Crypt of Rothilion

The Crypt of Rothilion was one of the biggest crypts in Polyandrium. The final resting place of Rothilion, a prominent wizard and judge of Myth Drannor.

Location
The Crypt of Rothilion was located at the Polyandrium's north ridge between the Crypt of Kesefehon to its west and the Crypt of Orbakh to its east. The Tower of Bones stood to the south of the crypt's entrance.

Structure
The Crypt of Rothilion had grand wide steps leading towards the tomb's huge double doors carved out of stone. They doors were decorated with a delicate star-shaped patterns that formed arcane runes resembling suns, books, fires, anvils, and scales. There were no door handles as they crypt was sealed with one of the Myth Drannor's runes and words of power. This particular arcane protection was sealed using the rune of stars which was hidden in Lyssic's crypt in Polyandrium until 1369 DR, and the word of power"venik-rhaa". The material the door was created with was magically reinforced to be almost indestructible. The inscription in elven above the hefty stone doors read "Tomb of Rothilion the Honorable, Wizard and Judge of Myth Drannor."

Interior
The halls of the crypt remained well-lit with torches enchanted by continual flame spell even far into the 14th century DR. The crypt itself was filled with things that represented Rothilion's passions in life, poetry books, and records of his judicial work.

History
Crypt of Rothilion was constructed for the venerated human judge from Myth Drannor long before the destruction of the Weeping War. Rothilion died of the old age was was given a hero's burial in the tomb that matched his status. The tomb was enchanted with defensive magics and sealed with a rune and a words of power to prevent grave robbing and desecration. Unfortunately, the wizards who weaved the protective and preservation enchantments did something wrong, and the error created the permanent magical effect in the crypt that caused everything inside to age ten-times faster. That magic caused most things inside the crypt to wither into dust.

At some point, alhoon named Hwarlg used his magic to penetrate the crypt in search of Rothilion's spellbooks but was trapped inside the crypt unable to unseal the main doors and bound to it by the dimensional ancor protective enchantment. We was trapped in the Crypt of Rothilion until it was unsealed in 1369 DR. Desperate to escape, Hwarlg used all of his magic to avoid confronting the adventurers who unsealed the crypt and fled the accursed place.

In 1369 DR, during the Cult of the Dragon's attempt to corrupt Myth Drannor's mythal via a resurgent pool of radiance the Crypt of Rothilion was one of the tombs they aimed to excavate in search of the Testament of Jade. The cultist named Nevessam was placed in charge of breaching the crypt's arcane seal. The crypt was unsealed by the group of adventurers who started their quest searching kidnapped villagers and were entangled in the plot of defending the ruins and opposing the Cult.
