Steelmane Mausoleum

The Steelmane Mausoleum (Domus Defunctorum in olde tongue) is a Alterac Granite mausoleum located in the backyard of the '''von Steelmane Mansion. '''It was built by Lord Bavarius Albrecht von Steelmane VI, son of Lord Bavarius Wolfgang von Steelmane V, when the graveyards around the local town became overcrowded. Though, strangely enough, after the construction, all blueprints and stoneworkers involved in the erecting of the mausoleum never returned from the mountains, leaving the location a mystery, however, an image and small description remains available to public eye within a dusty tome in some Alteraci Library.

In ink, the mausoleum was built on May 24, 320 L.C., due to overpopulated local cemeteries in the towns around the mountains of where House von Steelmane called home. House von Steelmane has always been known to preserve the corpses of their loved ones, to the extent where buried members of the family can almost be identified centures later, with the belief that they may return to life. If not, it shows great respect to the person whom died. Instead of the traditional way of burying the dead underground to rot twice as fast, Lord Bavarius Albrecht von Steelmane drew up plans for a grand, gothic-style mausoleum to be used for him, and for centuries after him so that the image of House von Steelmane can almost be immortal.

Construction began in the early, icy months of 318 L.C., the workers living in camps provided by Lord Bavarius for the two years it was needed to construct this grand mausoleum. Strangely, no visitors were allowed, and the post was delivered and dropped off by one of Lord Bavarius' four children, while the supplies were carted off to the nearest town and picked up by a fortuinate stonemason. The last of the letters from the stonemasons arrived to their boxes by the end of May, before all the builders mysteriously vanished. Lord Bavarius, due to his titles and coin, mentioned they probably succumed to to a blizzard or landslide, and it was left to fade away as time waned.

Though the location of the mausoleum, and the House von Steelmane Mansion remain a mystery, it is assumed the mausoleum is either in decent condition, or ruined.
