The Mortuary of the God-Kings

When the ancient god-kings died, their holy bodies were interred in the Mortuary of the God-Kings to be worshiped. When the Mythric faith took hold of the City, this pagan shrine was re-dedicated to martyrs and martyrdom. As such, it is a common place of pilgrimage for would-be crusaders.

The building is a testament to the limits of architecture. It boasts an enormous, free-standing dome and a veranda of Doric columns. Beneath the flagstones, all of the god-kings of old are buried. Enormous statues bearing their stylized half-animal, half-human seemings are set in alcoves around the main dome.

Sensations:

Echoing voices. You can hear the prayers of supplicants hundreds of yards away. Enormous statues with bestial faces. Incense and smoke mingle together in the air, leaking their way out of the bright oculus in the center of the dome.

Special City Action:

• Pale prophecies: Sometimes, the old deified kings murmur things at night. If you spend the night in the Mortuary, you might hear the kings whisper their sad and perplexing prophecies to each other.
