The turbulent history of the [[Serbule]]region has left its mark on the crypt, with at least one powerful undead-mage binding itself and its minions to the site. Occasionally, locals may instead refer to the crypt using the name of the mage, warning travelers to avoid Khyrulek's Crypt.

Some locals believe the statue is actually a petrified Giant, later carved into the shape of a Council member.

The Duchy of Serbule was once a prosperous land, but fell into disarray after the Duke of Serbule vanished. After the disaster at Dwyndarre, Serbule Keep was rebuilt as a refugee town for the survivors. While most of the population is Elven, some Humans remain to act upon the wishes of The Council. Retired Praetor Nelson Ballard watches over residents from the keep, while town Sheriff Sir Coth patrols.
Serbule itself is a typical Council town, with mostly wooden buildings surrounded by a stone wall. A moat wraps its way around the town, connected to a nearby lake. Six guard towers stand watch over the town, and the fortress of Serbule Keep takes up the southern end of town. There are three town gates, one to the East, and the others to the North and South.
The region of Serbule is lightly forested, with heavier forests to the northern and southern edges of the Duchy. A few lakes can be found around the town, and large mountains are visible in the distance. Council built cobblestone paths wind throughout the landscape of the region, the remains of a trade route from the Serbule Docks leading into Serbule Hills and beyond, to Sedgewick Forest.
Serbule is located around 2,000 miles from Statehelm, the capital city of the Council Lands.

Northern Woods
The Northern Woods of the Serbule region are home to a variety of wild beasts. Unprotected by the walls of town, a few lone houses can be found here. The Mantis couple Azalak and Zeratak are known inhabitants. Through the woods, the path (portal) to the hills of Eltibule can be found.
The Docks
Before the Goblins started their raids to the south, the Serbule Dock was once a small, but busy port. Now, only a few merchants are willing to moor there. Combined with the closure of Verta, these merchants are known for offering rides to other neighboring lands.

While only the hands and face rest above ground, rumors suggest that the entire statue exists, but buried.
