===The Tomb Cities of Achrum===
Every schoolchild knows of the drowned ruins in the Thousand Flowing Waters, which are now the tombs of the dead and undead of an ancient civilization. That civilization now lies submerged beneath the rising waters of the Gulf of Achrum, which the Thousand Flowing Waters surrounds and empties into. Few know that these ruins are actually the remnants of several cities, of which very little is known or has been learned. There are names given in old texts – Areatha the City of the Loom, Hipece the City of Waters, Marish the Named and Unnamed City – but none have been defined beyond mere conjecture. The marshes near Astomo and the city of Omphalo are most-accessible, but also the most perilous, as they are haunted by vampires and watched by the Silent Brotherhood. Most explorers who seek out the tomb cities are lucky to return with sight and sanity intact. (There is a note here in the text telling of a Wanderer of the Wastes, who returned from the tomb cities whole in mind and body, but speaking an unintelligible language which no one could fathom, and he unable to learn any other.) (nb. "Achrum" was not the name of that drowned land, but of one of the rivers that flowed into the land. scholars and explorers still attempt to determine which current-day river was once the River Achrum.)
