AREA B7: CRYPT OF KING CYAXARES I

This massive circular crypt is decorated along the walls and ceiling with paintings depicting the conquests of Cyaxares I, his victories over his enemies, his success in driving Aelaroth into the far north. In each corner stands a 7 foot tall statue of an ancient Elitarian warrior (medium animated object) that has been magically programmed to attack anyone who attempts to open the sarcophagus of the king. The sarcophagus itself sits on a raised dais in the center of the room.

Treasure: The sarcophagus of King Cyaxares I contains 20 platinum pieces, a ceremonial bronze dagger with a red garnet set in the pommel (worth 1,200 gold pieces), and a pair of lesser bracers of archery.
