A burial complex in the high mountain passes of Upper Lykara, now under Tatharian administration. Family tomb of Sir Kaldrfjell and his sons. The dead here are not resting peacefully.
Setting
The Kaldrfjell Tombs occupy a cold section of the Upper Lykaran peaks, carved into rock in the style of older Trevaldan funerary tradition. The complex is not large: a series of burial chambers connected by low corridors, sealed stone doors, and sarcophagus alcoves. The air in the tombs carries the particular stillness of places that have held silence for a long time.
A puzzle mechanism guards at least one sarcophagus. It has been solved at least once.
The Death Knight
Sir Kaldrfjell swore his sons peaceful, eternal respite in this tomb, and the oath outlasted him. When one of their sarcophagi was broken open, his spirit crossed the veil and manifested as a Death Knight.
He remains in the Tombs, undefeated and his wrath unsated. The violated sarcophagus has not been restored and the vow it was sworn under stands broken. What Sir Kaldrfjell does to whatever walks into his tomb next is not established, nor is whether his wrath is permanent, conditional, or open to a petitioner who approaches as something other than a plunderer.
Recent Disturbance
The Tombs saw a multi-sided engagement in 409 TC between a Solanari Dominion expedition, a pack of mountain yetis, and adventurers who arrived behind the fighting. The Dominion expedition withdrew from the region early and without recovering anything of note.
The site has not been quiet since. Some of the dead from that fighting remain where they fell, at least two Astral Elf soldiers were left alive and manacled within the complex, and the chamber holding the violated sarcophagus was stripped of part of its grave goods.
