Dungeon Monastery [30x53] | 12 Variants
Behind its moss-grown wall and rusted gate lies a courtyard framed by two towering bells, their forms overrun by ivy and the slow creep of mountain plants. At the center, carved steps sink into the rock itself, guiding visitors to the monastery’s undercroft. There, a mess hall stretches wide, its walls painted with faded saints and solemn martyrs. Beyond it lies the library, where copyists work in Byzantine script, their desks lit by guttering lamps. Narrow monk’s cells line the halls, small and crowded, each with little more than a cot and a slit of light. Hidden passages lead to the catacombs, shelves of skulls set in the stone like relics of bone. A cellar keeps grain and wine, its air heavy with dust and sour casks. At the monastery’s heart rests the temple proper, modeled after an orthodox church, its mosaics glittering in fractured color and its altar crowned with flickering candles.

Beyond lay a courtyard split by weeds and broken flagstones, where two tall bell towers rose into the grey sky. Their golden tongues silent, at least until the darkest part of the time, when they will sing yet again, announcing the mid-night prayer. We have finally arrived at the....
At the center between them, the mountain itself opened to receive us. Wide steps descended into shadow, carved smooth by centuries of sandaled feet. The air grew cool and heavy with the scent of wax, dust, and smoke that lingered even in the absence of prayer. The mountain did not welcome us. It consumed us, stone by stone, until the world above was gone.The silence grew thicker the deeper we went, until it was broken by a faint prayer, repeating, calm, and nearly inaudible. Icons peered down from cracked walls, their faces solemn and stoic, saints, angels, and sages unknown to you. The dimly lit corridors feel oddly relaxing, yet you remind yourself to keep your guard up. You are in a place of devotion, yet you are well aware that corruption has spread even to these lands, and these monks might not only be capable of prostrations and fasting...."
