The Crypt of Irkaxal

The Crypt of Irkaxal is a Dungeon Supplement for The Lost Legacy. As such, it is not a full adventure in and of itself. It is meant to be inserted into any existing adventure that takes place in Raychan as a side-venture. If the players do attempt to explore the ancient Crypt, make it apparent that the legend and stories surrounding it are all of the dangers and horrors. Not all characters will come out of this supplement alive. Not all are meant to. The Crypt of Irkaxal is a harsh dungeon that will claim the lives of at least one party member, and if they are not attentive and observant of their surroundings, they may miss out on a lot of potential riches and experience.

The Crypt of Irkaxal also serves another purpose. As the supposed “resting” place of the original Necromancer, Irkaxal Dakass, it is a source for existing characters to learn the skill of Necromancy. If the characters venture far enough into the Crypt to find a Tome of the Damned, one or more of the characters may attempt to learn the ways of Necromancy. Learning this skill alone could potentially kill the character before the dark magic can be mastered, and is not recommended for players who want to explore their character to further levels.

Currently this is the only way to learn the skill Necromancy is through the Tome of the Damned, which can only be obtained from this Crypt. The characters may come across a Tome of the Damned in their adventures, but with only 147 copies in the entire known world, the Tome would be one of the most expensive and rare items in all of The Lost Legacy.
