From the first screen of the '''Grand Vestibule''', immediately inside the '''Death Gate''', there will be a dirt path leading south through two {{favilink|torch sconce|plural}}. This leads into the exterior wall of the Tomb, down into a {{favilink|deep shaft}}, and then through a tunnel into the southwest corner of the '''Folk Catacombs'''. This tunnel actually runs directly underneath {{favilink|Ezra}}. It will typically have a high density of [[graffiti]], as if perhaps to indicate it is often used by {{favilink|graverobber|plural}} and other vandals. | From the first screen of the '''Grand Vestibule''', immediately inside the '''Death Gate''', there will be a dirt path leading south through two {{favilink|torch sconce|plural}}.

== Folk Catacombs == | |||
The Folk Catacombs are the lowest layer of the Tomb. Each zone will generally be divided into pieces by large chunks of {{favilink|bone wall|plural}}, which can easily be dug through with a {{favilink|pickaxe}}. Locations which are safe from the Bell of Rest will be marked with a diamond-shaped tile pattern and grant the [[tomb-tethered]] effect, but are otherwise not distinguished from the rest of the floor. The southeast and northeast zones contain stairs leading to the access corridor, the next level up. Most other zones will contain a {{favilink|stairwell teleporter}}, which will teleport the player to one of these sets of stairs. | |||
The Folk Catacombs are populated by {{favilink|conservator|plural}}, {{favilink|graverobber|plural}}, {{favilink|mopango tombdweller|plural}} and {{favilink|mopango charioteer|charioteers}}, and {{favilink|gelatinous cupola|plural}}. They can also contain "death pilgrims" of various [[Sultan cult|Sultan cults]], which will be drawn from the faction pool for the cult in question. | |||
=== Mopango Enclave === | |||
The northwest corner of the tomb will contain a [[mopango]] enclave, home to {{favilink|Agyra}}, {{favilink|Vivira}}, and {{favilink|Lebah}} as well as other mopango. Its {{favilink|bone oven}} contains [[Bone Babka]], a meal which grants [[Burrowing Claws]], as well as an AV boost upon [[Artifact examination|identifying]] an artifact. The enclave is connected to the quests [[The Buried Watchers]] and [[Fraying Favorites]]. | |||

This area will contain several {{favilink|industrial fan|plural}} that can potentially blow the player or other creatures into shafts that lead back downward into the '''Folk Catacombs'''. The Bell of Rest does not apply in the access corridors. | ||
It is possible to tunnel directly to the southern access corridor through the outer wall of the spindle from the north-eastern zone of {{Favilink|Omonporch}}, bypassing the folk catacombs entirely. The shortest point through the walls is straight north, seven tiles from the eastern edge of the zone. | It is possible to tunnel directly to the southern access corridor through the outer wall of the spindle from the north-eastern zone of {{Favilink|Omonporch}}, bypassing the folk catacombs entirely.

The crematory proper, in the eastern two-thirds, features a large number of {{Favilink|steaming vents}} and {{Favilink|machine press|machine presses}} along {{Favilink|conveyor belt|plural}}. Following the belts will lead to the Columbarium: Landlords and Changers, which is full of {{favilink|funerary urn}} and {{favilink|Statue of Eater|plural}}. | ||
The crematory is populated by mostly the same types of creatures as the Folk Catacombs, but instead of mopango it contains {{favilink|strip fly|plural}}, which can steal items. The Columbarium is populated only by docile {{favilink|urn duster|plural}}. | |||
