Title: Advari's Crypt

Author: Advari's Crypt

(Notes in Cole's Handwriting)

"This tome and Bartholomew's notes confirm Lord Virtuebane's memories. Due to our lack of ships, I have hired some pirates from Maggie the Red's crew to get what we need from Despise."

I write now of the Crypt of the Assassin of Lies, Advari. In the early times of Sosaria, he was feared for both his spells and his blade. He was head of a guild of great assassins. Those who joined him gave up everything to gain the skills he would share.

Even the Kings and Emperors of the Four Great Continents feared their enemies would buy "Advari's promise" - a binding necromantic contract to see them dead.

Eventually, these kings managed to bribe one of Advari's assassins into betraying him. Slowly, over months, Advari grew weak and tired, his life strangled by unseen poison.

Advari knew deceit when he felt its cold hands, and he raged in Pride that a junior could manage to kill him.

He never learned who had poisoned him, but Advari did not die quietly. Weakened and withered, he gathered all of his assassins in a room, and in a final gasp of life, promised leadership to whoever held his blade. He collapsed dead, and in greed, the other assassins tried to grasp the blade. They did not notice the curse on it until it had claimed them all, filling Advari's Crypt.

I believe Advari's Crypt is deep under Deceit. I have not found the exact location, only that white fire burns brightly over the entrance and a voice whispers the secret word to those who seek Advari's legacy.
