I'm looking for some information on the Tomb of Zahyra in Tethyr. All I have is the info contained in Lands of Intrigue. Zahyra was the first Court Vizera in the kingdom of Tethyr, she died in -99 DR and was buried in a tomb in the Starspire Mountains. Does anyone actually know a more precise location of the tomb and what can be one expect upon entering it?

As usual, Steven Schend overwrote LOI and as I recall one of the bits cut for space related to the discovery of the tomb of the First Court Vizera. A "sneak peek" at the LOI product which WotC released years ago for download on their site (it might still be there as a 'hidden link') contained the information as I recall.

If no-one at the Keep can track anything further down to assist you, I'll get my folders out and provide the info.

Hmmm. I do remember downloading that file, but I can neither find it or the old URL for it, anywhere in my archives. What about you Wooly?

It doesn't ring any bells...

Dang, I was relying on you "lore savants" to help my lazy **** out.

Okay, I'll have a look in my folders.

Actually, after doing some digging, the excerpt I was thinking about is actually located here at the Keep:

Check out the "Preview of Lands of Intrigue": http://www.candlekeep.com/library/lore.htm

I do recall that Steven sent me a few prior to publishing excerpts of LOI as a reward for some stuff I did for him at the time, so I will look at that stuff to see if there is anything else.

Well, there you go. I also went through the Candlekeep archives, but apparently missed this as well.

Please do. This has all become rather intriguing, now.

Par for the course from that box set, I'd say...

Doggedly converting 3e back to what D&D should be...
Sigh... And now 4e as well.
