Pyramid of Cathala

Ancient structure build on top of an ancient burial ground of the Cathlanti . Feared and avoided by the local inhabitants of the area, the Leonin , for whom it is forbidden by law to come close. They believe it to be ill-fated, since few who entered have exited alive, those who do make it out alive go either mad or are cursed.

The ancient mysteries and forgotten lore shroud the pyramid and its true meaning in secrecy. Expeditions into these cursed lands are dangerous and advised against by the local tribes.
Only brave and foolish men dare entering these expeditions, drawn by stories of treasure and knowledge laying within the pyramid.

Purpose / Function

Build by Acererak during the 'Culling' in the 24th year after the rift.

Architecture

Large 15 foot wide and 10 foot high limestones are stacked to form a polyhedron structure. Roughly 100 foot tall it stands out on the horizon whilst the reflecting sunlight from the gold plated top can be seen for afar.

Defenses

The area around the pyramid has a high concentration of sandworms. Inside pressure plate traps will activate a mechanism that will alter the layout of the corridors by shifting around the different layers. Sometimes the grunt of a mysterious creature can be heard from the hallways.

History

After its completion it's been a stronghold for Acererak and his armies. it has been standing in the desert for hundreds of years without an entrance, up until recently when 2 doorways appeared at the base of the pyramid. Once part of the Empire of the Cathlanti.
