Indorin's Tomb is a fortress tomb in the mountains of Erg Mirab in southern Aerona, part of the Domains of Dominaria.
Description[]
The fortified walls of Indorin’s tomb straddle the pass at the summit of one of the Mirab's mountains, with twin turrets like polished teeth. This monument to the fallen knight Indorin looms in the darkness like the silent, bleached bones of something long dead. The Masters of the Haari say that the tomb was built long ago by the Order of the Silverstar to mark the place where their fallen comrade had died battling a demon or some other fell monster. Its curved outer walls had no entrances or windows, and it was rumored that members of the Order of the Silverstar still met there secretly from time to time.[1]
At the center of the fortress courtyard stood the tomb - a domed structure, unimposing but striking in its simplicity. Past the door in the dome of the tomb, the circular inner chamber of the tomb is small, almost like a private chapel, yet breathtaking, carved entirely of pure, white marble, and lit in a golden glow from large orbs like giant pearls suspended above a dozen alcoves along the perimeter of the room. Slender columns cut to resemble the trunks of birch trees supported the domed ceiling with their gracefully chiseled branches. In the alcove, alabaster statues of unicorns and saints, pilgrims, and prophets are poised as if in silent prayer. Between them were draped curtains of fine white silk.[1]
History[]
In c. 4100 AR, the Haari Clan member Kyree came to the tomb on a mission to get an object from inside. She stole an Ivory Cup from Indorin's sarcophagus, which summoned the Serra Angel Adriel. Adriel chased after Kyree to get the sacred relic back and eventually caught up with her over a nearby lake. Kyree lost her flight magic and fell, dropping the cup, but grabbing one of Adriel's feathers instead, fulfilling her Task. Whether Adriel reclaimed the cup or if it was lost in the lake depths is unknown.[1]
