The Tomb of Shadows

An ice-shrouded city of shattered stone spires and decaying arched bridges comes into view from out of the swirling black mist. Gray lightning surges within the clouds, and a boiling sea of black surrounds the base of the towers a hundred feet below. Several other spires connect to the one closest to you, but uncounted hundreds more spread farther in the distance, their shattered bridges out of reach.

When Acererak made his most recent attempt at seizing absolute power, his staging ground was Moil, the City that Waits. A maze of ruined towers extending down to the deepest depths of the Shadowfell, Moil provided a fertile ground for undead experimentation, as well as an access point to the demilich’s great Fortress of Conclusion.

Held within an extra-dimensional space of pure necrotic essence, this fortress served as the site of Acererak’s planned divine apotheosis—a process by which the mastery of undeath would grant him godlike power. However, great heroes destroyed both Acererak’s plans and his sanctum. As with its dread master, though, mere heroes could not forever stop the power of the Fortress of Conclusion.
