Kalaran's Unrest

For my upcoming D30 version of DungeonWords, I thought I'd put together a new microdungeon with words drawn randomly from the expanded tables. Interestingly, I drew three words that directly implied some kind of undead activity. The rest were easily made to fit the theme.

Kalaran's Unrest

A somber monument to Kalaran, the greatest hero of the Cartolan Alliance, stands amidst the gravestones of the long-abandoned People's Cemetery. Now covered in verdigris, the towering bronze statue points to the tomb of the warrior-sage who mastered the Necromancer's own weapons and beat back the advancing dark. In those final days, the savior of man paid the ultimate price for his heroism and succumbed to vampirism. Even in undeath, the Highest Thirteen could not destroy their fallen champion. Instead, they sealed him in the very vault where he had bargained with countless spirits and scried at the Pool of Unspoken Fates. Now, the ghost of his fallen squire holds vigil for his lost soul and the whispers of the departed threaten madness to any who approach his hidden sarcophagus. But it is the swarms of horrid vermin, mutated by necrotic energies once housed in funerary urns, that are the true ward against those who might unleash the ancient vampire upon an unsuspecting world.
