Rune Graveyard

Following the dark trail west and north through Rune forest just north of the Towne of Rune, one may find themselves at the entrance to Rune Graveyard, which is home to one of the most profitable shopkeepers in the world. Set up in an organized matrix, the graveyard is full of tombs, whose inhabitants have risen up and formed ranks of necromancers, ghosts, skeletons, and shadows.

In the western corner lies a crypt full of rats and a Crypt Thing, and to the east lays a memorial as well as a haunted inn, which in itself contains a small garden. The northern path continues to a small church, which is valiantly defended by paladins. The majority of these NPCs are for the novice player, and it's been rumored large amounts of experience points can be granted if you meet with the appropriate friar before taking up the defense of good.

For more experienced players, there exists another level of Rune Graveyard - home to the legendary Couatl and the dead Manari cavaliers, as well as Semiramis, guardian angels, and a fearsome revenant. To enter this dungeon, one would do well to kill various mobs in the church, and search around the altar - ultimately to be able to unlock one of the tombs in the graveyard.

• Various keys are required to unlock a locked tomb. Entering this tomb will bring you to the dungeons of Rune graveyard, which contain the Manari ghosts, legendary Couatl (look carefully at room descriptions), and the revenant.
• While most of the NPCs in the graveyard are evil, necromancers and wavering shadows are the only red auras.
• The memorial hawker sells a memorial cross on occasion for 10k gold, required for the Mark of Mediums.
• The haunted inn garden is a back exit from the dungeons, and a direct path to Semiramis and the Friar of life - look carefully at the southern wall!
• Semiramis is known to cast "kill" and summons a death knight, who wields a rather handy 2nd class sword - she can be found near the Friar of Life, out of plain sight.
• Come prepared to dig if you are looking for the legendary Couatl, whose wings are required for the Mark of Air.
• The Mark of Belief can be obtained in this area, near the black onyx doors.
• Some decent second class equipment can be found on various NPCs.
• On the path through the Rune graveyard dungeon - when in doubt, search!
• Look before you leap - there is at LEAST one death trap in the underground dungeon.
