Town Cemetery
The Town Cemetery is a sprawling burial ground shrouded in mist and silence, with its cobblestone pathways and weathered headstones evoking a somber, eerie atmosphere.
Rows of gravestones, mausoleums, and tombs line the cemetery, their worn inscriptions telling the stories of lives long past. Flickering lanterns cast dim light along the main paths, but the deeper sections are cloaked in shadow, making it easy for secrets to remain hidden. Statues of angels and guardians, now cracked and moss-covered, stand watch, adding a haunting beauty to the scene.
At the heart of the cemetery lies a circular plaza, where a stone emblem is embedded in the ground, perhaps marking a significant historical or magical event. The far corners feature mausoleums and an underground crypt, their entrances foreboding and shadowed. This cemetery speaks of forgotten rituals, restless spirits, and the hidden dangers that lurk just beneath its surface.
Intended Use:
This map is ideal for encounters centered on exploration, mystery, or combat in a setting that exudes gothic horror. It can serve as the location of a side quest, such as finding a missing person, uncovering a dark secret, or solving a curse tied to the graves. Players might encounter undead rising from their graves, spirits wandering the grounds, or cultists performing forbidden rituals in the crypts or central plaza. The foggy layout of the cemetery allows for stealth, ambushes, or intense, tactical combat scenarios.
The Town Cemetery is the perfect setting to introduce Kerric Dustwhisper from the Character Repository.

The Town Cemetery is also perfect for role-playing and investigative scenarios. Clues about a larger story or campaign plotline might be hidden in the epitaphs, mausoleums, or the crypt’s shadowy depths. Whether the players are delving into the past, searching for a lost artifact, or dealing with a villain using the cemetery as their lair, the setting's ominous tone enhances the tension and atmosphere.
