Lyssic's Crypt

Lyssic's Crypt was one of the bigger crypts in Polyandrium of Myth Drannor dedicated to a human Akh'Velahr commander Lyssic.

Location
Lyssic's Crypt was located to the west from the Tower of Bones, a the very edge of the Polyandrium.

Structure
The entrance to the tomb once was indicated by a huge and majestic stature of a mounted knight. By 1369 DR, the stature was broken and its chunks were scattered in the vicinity if the tomb's doors. The tomb had one overground floor and one deep passage descended deeper into underground. The crypt was big enough to house commander Lyssic in his mausoleum and members of his military company.

History
This military crypt was constructed and started seeing use before the fall of Myth Drannor in the Weeping War. At first, it was used to inter people who fell in combat under the command of Lyssic. Eventually, Lyssic himself perished and his body was placed in the tomb's mausoleum. after this, the crypt became known as Lyssic's Crypt.

Unlike many of the crypts in Polyandrium, Lyssic's final resting place was disturbed in 1368 DR. A group of adventurers went inside and never left, leaving the gates wide open and propped by a boulder. In 1369 DR, Lyssic' tomb was once again disturbed, this time by the agents of the Cult of the Dragon who took over the ruins of myth drannor. The Cult planned on excavating Lyssic's Crypt but a group of adventurers who sought to defeat the cult beat them to it, recovering the rune of stars - the key to the Crypt of Rothilion.

Rumors & Legends
It was believed by the folk of Myth Drannor that Lyssic one day would rise from his grave to defend the City of Song in death at the time of great peril. This, however never happened even though some of commander's troops rose as undead to avenge their deaths to punish unlucky graverobbers.
