A warforged ossuary is a former temple, crypt, or warehouse deep in the Mournland that now houses the remains of slain warforged. It is a place of honor and reflection for The Lord of Blades and his followers.
Warforged Ossuary Features
The ossuary depicted in map 4.6 was once a temple, which has been refitted into a resting place for the Lord of Blades’ followers. Equal parts crypt, monument, vault, and workshop, the ossuary serves many functions for the warforged who maintain it. Other ossuaries exist in a variety of locations. The basic functions of these places remain the same, regardless of the original purpose of the structure. The Lord of Blades’ warforged troops defend these sites with their lives.
The Warforged Ossuary Adventures table offers some reasons why characters might seek out such a place.
