The Barrows of the Valeran Elves are a location that interested my players on my hex map of the Southwestern Marches of the Blood Kingdom. They only elected to explore the large mound in the bottom, center of the map above.
The mound's ancient stone doorway is marked by a large visible cleft or divot in the ground, perhaps left when erosion caused the earth over and around the door to fill the space. It requires several hours of digging to unearth the door, which however opens with a DC15 Strength check.
I had a nasty Neophron demon named Gnasher, acting as a scout for the Band of the Twice Damned circling over the party ominously throughout this time outside.
Within, as it's a simple dungeon, I had the characters pass stacked bones of servitor halflings, as the nobles of the elven empire possessed in ancient times in the Midgard setting. Within the tomb rooms was a peacefully resting champion of Valeresh who possessed a magical lance that the cleric took. The largest room held a banshee, who was a minor elven noble, killed by dwarven reavers as they came South, eventually to settle in the Ironcrags and create the modern dwarven cantons.
