The Crypt

 The crypt was never officially called that in the beginning, it had a few lavish rooms with extraordinary furniture. It was where Azzur slept and lounged before he was married. It was not turned into a crypt with actual tombs until the vampire mistresses arrived in the palace. Now, it lays in dust and ruin. It's long abandoned now and the only ones who would go down there were the vampires. 

The crypt if one is coming down through the trap door will see a rectangular room with two stone tombs up against the wall. A doorway with drapes over it lead into an open floor with more tombs. The floor is riddled with treasures now, and the brass elephant that was once up in the glass staircase remains down here in pieces. The crypt is still frequented by phantom vampires. The doors off the open plan area leads into Azzur's former lounge, bedroom, bathroom, and temple. The kitchen of the dungeon was the original kitchen before. The question as to why he stayed down here is unknown, but he is in fact obsessed with the dead, so being under the sewers in such a dreary location suited him. It was quiet and away from people.

The hag now visits this level and brings bags of black pearls with her, she dumps them all on the floor and laughs. The crypt is crawling with expensive relics but no one knows it's there and no one has yet tried to get to it. It is said that the true Eye of the Basilisk is hidden in the crypt somewhere but the dangers of vampires, the hag, and heaven knows what else lurking below the dungeons could create deadly problems for any skilled rogue.

It is a former place of pure luxury now a dumping ground of all kinds of wondrous treasure. It has no lighting, so it's a creepy level. There could now perhaps be living a wraith residing there, it's a rumor.

The crypt does get visited by a ghostly black jaguar with green eyes, it lies on the tombs, flicking its tail. This is one of the lord's many pets, it's sometimes at his feet in the living quarters when he's resting. It is unknown if the cat is dangerous or not.
