The Warded Chamber is a place beneath the earth, distinguished by the remnants of its history and by runic wards laid to hold malevolent forces in check. At its heart stands a great casket, broken open, which tells of some dangerous thing once bound within. The chamber is tenanted by undead — among them an Undead Priest that devoured the corpses of its brother priests — and by various guardians roused during the exploration.
There is evidence of a past battle, and notably in the form of animated armour that owned the accomplishment of its charge before it fell still. Among the relics recovered from the chamber is a memoir ascribed to Mehmed II. The place bespeaks a tangled history of conflict and of confinement, underscored by the dangerous beings within it and by the remnants of magical strife.
