Tomb of Lost Souls
To the south of Corvis, in the midst of the treacherous
Dragonspine Peaks, lies an ancient tomb that has played
a significant role in the region’s more recent history. As
the story goes, more than three hundred years ago, King
Malagant the Grim and the Church of Morrow called upon
an army of honorable mercenaries known as the Eternals to
defeat the Tharn barbarians that plagued Cygnar’s northern
borders. Although the Eternals enjoyed a series of great
successes, they ultimately fell prey to betrayal and trickery
in the Dragonspine Peaks. The Cygnaran knights who had
accompanied them into the mountains arrived too late to save
their comrades-in-arms but were visited by a host of archons
and heard the voice of Morrow himself, who told them to
take the bodies of the fallen to a place in the mountains where a tomb had been prepared befitting their sacrifice.
“The fallen legion will rise again to keep the forces of
darkness at bay,” Morrow told them, and the devout knights
did as they were bidden, laying the bodies of the dead
warriors to rest in the tomb, the location of which was lost
in the centuries that followed. Then, in 603 AR, Alexia
Ciannor used the Witchfire to raise what had become known
as the Legion of Lost Souls, leading them in battle against
Vinter IV and his army of skorne invaders and routing them
from Corvis.
More recently, a holy archon of Morrow roused the Legion of Lost Souls once more and led them to fight against the infernal invaders. In the days since, the tomb has become rather famous, although its remote location has resulted in few visitors. Those who make the trek find the door sealed once again, guarded now by two massive statues of twin warriors carved into the face of the cliff itself.
