The great southern plain of Tilea, a prosperous and fertile land, famous for fine horses and huge graineries, is the homeland for Luccini. Within its elegant walls stands the greatest Mausoleum to the god Morr in the Old World, and here every ten years is held the most important convocation of the deity's priests. The city itself is built partly over the ruins of an ancient blackstoned city, said to have been one of the great Elven ports in the days before the Elf-Dwarf Wars. Now, however, it is little more than rubble, searched by treasure-hunters and adventurers for long hidden treasures. They occasionally uncover long hidden subterranean passages, excavating incredible ancient riches. The ruins are also dangerous. Some people believe they are haunted, others say that they have become the refuge for all manner of evil, from Goblin scanvengers to human brigands. Sometimes lights appear in the ruins or vague inhuman chants are carried by a cool wind. More terrible still cries of inhuman laughter ring through the night, accompanied by screams of terror and the perpetual moaning of the damned. Citizens often appeal for the rubble to be cleared, but the area is vast, several times larger than the city itself, so the task has so far proved to be an impossible one.
The Worship of Morr, God of Death
Morr is God of Death, and the Ruler of the Underworld. He is depicted as a tall man of arristicratic bearing with a detached, brooding aspect. All dead souls belong to him, and he makes sure that they are guided safely to his dark realm. He is also the God of Dreams, since the Land of Dreams is close to the Realm of Death.
His symbols are the raven and the portal. His clerics wear plain black hooded robes, without any symbols or adornment.
