Forgotten Sepulcher

"Once reserved for high-ranking dignitaries, the sepulcher became a tortuous labyrinth, its reaches fading into obscurity and myth..."

The Forgotten Sepulcher is a fifth level biome.

If someone was of note for the history books, they were buried here. A strange ritual was to use the bones as adornment for the sepulcher as some sort of decoration. However, the Malaise resulted in the former dignitaries abandoning it altogether, leaving it to the darkness. This darkness gathered like a haze, gnawing and chewing on any source of light found here, as well as making its ways into the bodies of the dead. It took over them, and made them dance a deadly, murderous dance. Now, little light other than that from the sparse laturns lurks here. In the minds of the survivors, this labyrinth no longer exists.
