The [[Serbule Crypt]] is a tomb inhabited by a variety of 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 may instead will refer to the crypt using the name of the mage, warning travelers to avoid [[Serbule Crypt|Khyrulek's Crypt]]. HoweverDespite the blight of undead the crypt unleashes into the region, the presence of those undead brings with it also bring the opportunity to gather supplies, sorely needed by the Elven refuges from refugees of [[Dwyndarre]] being housed in the quickly constructed town of [[Serbule Keep]].
