The Catacombs

General Information
The Catacombs are a large area in Pre-Searing Ascalon. They used to be the subterranean burial place belonging to the Ashford Abbey, with a large network of hallways, caves, chambers, tombs and crypts. Since the Catacombs are now haunted by Undead in large numbers, they are no longer used as cementery. Only the bravest dare to enter deep into this area of death and horror. The Catacombs are home to elaborate murals of all of the old Gods: Dwayna, Balthazar, Melandru, Lyssa and Grenth.

Beware of poisonous Swamp Water in some areas of the Catacombs.

This area does not re-appear in Post-Searing, as all entrances are blocked.
