The [[Serbule Crypt]] is a tomb inhabited by low-level naturally-occurring Undead, although the further from the entrance an adventurer explores the stronger they become. 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 will refer to the crypt using the name of the mage, warning travelers to avoid [[Serbule Crypt|Khyrulek's Crypt]]. Despite the blight of undead the crypt unleashes into the region, the presence of those undead also bring the opportunity to gather supplies, sorely needed by the Elven refugees of [[Dwyndarre]] being housed in the quickly constructed town of [[Serbule Keep]]. | The [[Serbule Crypt]] is a tomb inhabited by low-level naturally-occurring Undead, although the further from the entrance an adventurer explores the stronger they become.

The Serbule Crypt is a tomb inhabited by low-level naturally-occurring Undead, although the further from the entrance an adventurer explores the stronger they become. 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 will refer to the crypt using the name of the mage, warning travelers to avoid Khyrulek's Crypt. Despite the blight of undead the crypt unleashes into the region, the presence of those undead also bring the opportunity to gather supplies, sorely needed by the Elven refugees of Dwyndarre being housed in the quickly constructed town of Serbule Keep.
Points of Interest - Upper Floor
The Art Gallery
Near the entrance of the crypt, multiple rooms of artwork may be found. While these paintings potentially once depicted those buried in the crypt, they now portray a variety of subjects. Once removed from the walls, adventurers with adequate Art History skills can try to identify them. Despite being considered Vendor Trash by most, valuable identified paintings are well-liked by some NPCs. Lawara, Sir Coth, and Jesina are some of the easily encountered NPCs who like Paintings (or the broader category "Works of Art").
Sanctified Force Fields
Previous residents of the Serbule region have tried to prevent the spread of undead from the crypt. Some of their barriers remain. To ensure that adventurers are prepared with some knowledgeable of the tomb, only those who answer questions may pass through the barriers. Studying the exterior of the crypt, particularly etchings on nearby grave-markers will be helpful to those seeking to delve deep into the crypt. Some answers may also be found inside the tomb.

The answer is 397.
The red Force Field on the lower floor requests an answer to the question: "What is the age of our great lady?"
Click Expand to view the answer to the Red Force Field
The answer is 244.
Khyrulek's Upper Room
Beyond the Art Gallery is a long corridor leading to a room with a raised stone platform in the middle. This room contains a manifestation of the lich fire-mage Khyrulek, whose defeat grants passage to the lower level of the crypt. This manifestation is guarded by two large Rhinos and a plethora of Skeleton Archers. The portal which spawns when this undead is defeated lasts only a minute or two. It will disappear long before the foes in the room respawn.
Serbule Sewers Drainage
During the establishment of the new town of Serbule Keep, the Council Corps of Engineers opted to speed up construction by connecting the portal outlet of the sewer system to the nearby Crypt. The engineer and Sigil Scripter Sir Arif has established a "safe" area in the crypt protected by Explosion Traps. A magical portal to the Serbule Sewers can be found in this safe area.
Room of the Nameless
The Nameless Guardian is a large undead warrior fueled by deeply personal regrets, suffering from and able to inflict a curse of Namelessness. Even in death they are unable to escape their commitments, and is forced to guard a series of statues which act as a puzzle. The largest of the statues guarded by the Nameless Guardian presents a riddle, its answer rooted in lore of the Serbule Crypt.

Points of Interest - Lower Floor
Necromancy Altar
The skill Necromancy can be learned here (as of the alpha), from a Pulsing Crystal found deep within the dungeon. Sometimes friendly players offer a "run" down there on global chat.
Four new chests (Oct 25th, 2014 update)
The first chest is at the end of the corridor "that players seem to all miss". The other three are deeper in. (None are on the second floor past Khyrulek.) Each chest can be opened by all players once per hour, so you can team up to collect the chests. The loot has above-average chances for nice level 20 gear.

- Spiderwebs are worth 20 councils each, they quickly add up.
