A forgotten tomb, lost to the pages of history no one remembered where it was, why it was built or what it may contain but this didn't stop the thieving tomb raiders from talking about it while sitting around at the local Tavern.

Rumors mostly is all they had, and most didn't believe the tomb even existed. The most common rumor that rode on the whispers of the wind is that the demon Baal had been bound there. But everyone knew the story of the three Prime Evils where just stories to scare children to be good. More than likely the tomb contained great treasure and the story was created to keep thieves out.

However, her opinion was starting to change as she just a tomb in the Canyon of the Magi. No one comes out here due to the stories of ghost of Horadric mages haunting the area. She was curious however and exploring around looking for a new hunting ground. She figured that the wildlife should be plentiful since the locals were afraid to come out.

She found a tomb engulfed in vines and barely visible except for one side that had deteriorated, and the wall had collapsed. One of the stones did contain what looked like a symbol of the Horadric but it was so badly faded she couldn't be sure.

She slowly entered the tomb from the collapsed wall and set her shield down against a broken column. Lighting a torch filled the room with light allowing her to see there was so much more to this tomb than what it looked like from outside.

What treasures did it contain or even worse could the demon Baal be contained here? Had he escaped already through the fallen wall?

As she gripped the torch and sword tighter, she decided she would need to go deeper to see what she could find. She would need proof that the tomb was real as well as the evil it may contain, and she knew she would need help to contain it.....
