Tomb of Azbo

The tomb of Azbo is the resting place of the great orc Azbo in the campaign Zincirsiz ("Unchained"). By the shaman Gromak's account, the place from which imperial soldiers took the orcs' relic was not the true tomb: that is hidden by an illusion and is said to lie inside a mountain as great and ancient as Azbo.¹²³

The map

In the study of the buried rooms where Azbo's friend Darka once stayed, Jonathan River found two drawings, one of which marked the place of the tomb within the mountain. He studied it closely, tried to commit it to memory, and burned it. Later Jonathan said he had the map, and drew the rod across a map whose roads contradicted one another; the ink turned to smoke and settled again as a clear route.⁴⁵⁶

The approach

The true route led along a hidden plank path on the far face of the mountain, past stone barriers that the rod shrank, a chasm, and an iron door with no handle, which opened once Jonathan gave it one with the rod (see Rod of Azbo's mountain).⁷⁸⁹

Jonathan wiped away the handle and closed the door behind them, set a protective spell, and led the group down a spiral descent of some ten to fifteen minutes to a floor of different stone.¹⁰¹¹

The inner tomb

In a hall with three doors, after long trials and a rest, the true passage opened. Below lay a round chamber ringed by a chasm, holding a carved sarcophagus sized for a huge orc and racks of gear. As the companions stepped inside, the stair sank and the way out closed.¹²¹³

After a duel with the tomb's animated gear the sarcophagus opened and Azbo rose from it. Later Kirka broke through the passage alone and built a path of vines over the chasm. As the mountain shook, Azbo cast the companions out. How things ended between Azbo and Kirka is not known.^14151617
