Catacombs

The Catacombs.

The Catacombs is a location within the graveyard that is found when exploring the graveyard. The entrance to the catacombs in permanently accessible, but once a hero is within the catacombs, the hero must explore to find the exit to the graveyard or the entrance to the Buried Cathedral. The Catacombs contains a great deal of mid-level items found in tombs which heroes may encounter. Lesser Undead populate the catacombs but not in numbers as large as those in the Buried Cathedral.
