There are around 15 shamans scattered throughout the crypt (and only 1-2 each of the other Krug types) who are allegedly the ones responsible for animating the skeletons and gargoyles.

Description[]

This crypt is located beneath the mountains that separate the Iliarth Divide from Hovart Marsh. There are two quest-related objects secured within this place: the Elddim Townstone and the Gavel of Convening.

Utraean Priestess Kelti's great-grandmother was the Legion Protectorate of the ancient crypt. When Lord Hovart turned against the Legion, this person sealed the Elddim Townstone in one of the tomb's sarcophagi with impenetrable Utraean glyphs. The player needs to have spoken to Kelti in the current game session to be able to open that sarcophagus and claim the Townstone.

Conjurer Orkin Umberdeep, the spell and potion vendor in Crystwind, was once Lord Hovart's vizier. While it was he who fashioned the Gavel of Convening, there are no details available about why it is in the crypt, sealed with a glyph bearing the mark of Elddim, or why Hovart himself likes the Gavel so much. The player needs to possess Guard Relran's Journal to enter the chamber holding the Gavel.
