Background
These ruins appear to be ancient. Crumbling walls and broken tiles are all that is left of what must once have been a majestic building. Oddly though, there is a man a couple of towns over who swears that less than a week before the Cathedral was brand new, finally finished after nearly 100 years of work.
Other claim he is mistaken, perhaps a little too much ale and not enough sleep. Certainly, he looks somewhat dishevelled. However, he is so certain he is willing to pay anyone who will investigate and bring back some definitive evidence that he is either correct or has lost his mind.
Little information can be unearthed by talking to the other townsfolk. It seems anyone who lives close enough to have knowledge of the cathedral draws a blank when questioned about it and quickly changes the topic.

Design Notes
Gothic Cathedral Ruins
- 01 – Nave – This would once have been the primary are for the congregation during service. It is now entirely open to the sky, and it seems that nature has had plenty of time to claim it.
- 02 – High Altar – Almost all the furniture, statues and valuables have been removed, or more likely looted, long ago. The gem encrusted altar still stands at the head of the church though, but something seems to have broken it in half.
- 03 – Living Quarters – This area would once have been used as living spaces by the clergy, but there is no longer any sign of life.
- 04 – Chapel – This smaller building still mostly stands, albeit with no roof. The eastern wall has collapsed inwards revealing the graveyard outside.
- 05 – Library – This room would once have been filled with knowledge collected over generations. Now it is completely bare.
- 06 – Graveyard – The names of the gravestones have worn away over time. Some are broken and others have fallen over.
- 07 – Mausoleum – The tomb of an unnamed person. Perhaps the answer to this mystery lies within the carved stone coffin.
