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

The 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 blueish-purple Force Field encountered on the first floor requests an answer to the question: "How many humans died to sanctify this tomb"

Answer

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?"

Answer

The answer is 244.

Khyrulek's Room

Khyrulek is guarded by two large Rhinos. Killing Khyrulek will spawn a portal to take you deeper into the crypt.

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.

Serbule Sewers Portal

There is a room protected by a few Explosion Traps. Sir Arif can be found there, who deals in Sigil Scripting. Further back in this room is a connection to Serbule Sewers.

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.
