Giusburg Catacombs

The Giusburg Catacombs are a secret treasure vault and catacombs beneath the main palace, built by King Chumley the Clever in the years 4723-4727. The catacombs hold the bodies of all the Libidine kings and queens from the start of the dynasty until 55239 when its 21st ruler, King Phillos the Weak was killed by Darold Schulte of the Schulte Dynasty.

Gius Libidine and Tom Libidine's bodies were controversially exhumed from Niu Heym and brought to Giusburg for reburial, and Queen Sarai the Generous's tomb was also relocated. It became the secret resting place for the Libidine Dynasty. At the same time, Chumley ordered the simultaneous construction of a decoy above-ground necropolis, filling it with nothing but booby traps and demon curses.

The catacomb's construction relied heavily on demon help who installed many traps to keep out invaders. Its existence was known only to a select few, and its construction workers were all convicted criminals told that service would earn them a pardon after thirty days of hard labor. Demons then enthralled all the construction workers every month, cycling through thousands before the project was completed. Unknown the demons, Chumley filled in the grand entrance and had others dig secret passageways to it so not even the demons and their long lives would have knowledge of how to enter.

The catacombs were sealed in the 5366 following the Great Eastern Shake, a massive earthquake and resulting tsunami that destroyed much of the city. The monarch at the time was not of the Libidine dynasty, so knowledge of the catacombs became entirely forgotten, and future kings were buried in the Giusburg Necropolis, not knowing no actual previous kings occupied it.
