Milil's Inner Sanctum
When the temple was consecrated to Milil, three of his saints were buried in the island, in a chamber kept secret from all but the highest ranking priest in charge of the island. One of those saints, however, was a real scoundrel, and continued toward evil even unto death, unhallowing the entire temple time and time again. He corrupted the gift Milil bestowed upon the island, which is thankfully still hidden in the secret chamber. The earthquake did, however, loosen an opening into the room beyond that is obvious to anyone sailing close to the ait.
Design
A hewn and polished burial chamber, with a chapel opposite a small entry hall.
Entries
There is an entry hall that was sealed up years ago, but the earthquake flaked off some pieces of rock that have left open a way into the hall.
Sensory & Appearance
Hewn from the very rock of the island itself, the rooms are dark and stolid, quite unlike many of Milil's other sancti.
Denizens
No one has been here, save one, in a long time.

Hazards & Traps
