Rising up from vast desert dunes, the Buried Palace’s golden spires glisten like beacons for adventurers. Its halls are filled with untouched treasures, yet the rooms of opulence hide deadly traps.

Side Quest: The Forgotten Heir

A noble from Ahkisiin or Aliak Tehani believes he is the descendant of the last ruler of the Buried Palace and hires the adventurers to retrieve proof of his lineage—an ancient scepter said to lie in the palace’s royal tomb. The adventurers must delve deep into the buried palace, avoiding collapsing tunnels and shifting sands. However, they are not alone—a rival claimant has also sent assassins and traps to ensure the prince never reaches his goal. Upon finding the tomb, the adventurers discover that the prince’s ancestor was not as noble as he believed, raising moral questions about whether to help him claim his birthright or destroy the evidence. The rivals might point out that the prince would gain control of a nomadic tribe, the displaced offspring of the original inhabitants, and gain the power to exhume the palace.
