I decided to involve it in our current campaign. The PCs are trying to slip in secret into the Shadowelf realm, and or some campaign-specific reasons they are likely to end up in the Warrens. I decided that the tomb is indeed there. It holds the remains of a group of early Nithian crusaders - not necromantic or fire-worshipping run-of-the-mil= l Nithian baddies, but instead a mix of Norse God worshippers and followers of more benign Nithian deities. During the years when the underground elves yet weren't the shadowelves, whe= n they were followers of Atzanteotl in Aengmor, these people received a vision of a people entangled in great evil. Teir patron Otan (Odin) sent them to battle this evil. (Note: The PCs have been involved in the mysteries of Nithia and =20 interventions of Odin a few times before. It is a sidetrack in the =20 campaign.) The crusaders (well, no cross was involved) lost their battle and were =20 entombed in the Warren by followers of Atzanteotl. As the PCs are currently on a mission against Atzanteotl's interests =20 (Xatapechli), the players have an opportunity to interpret this =20 discovery as a sign of fate or whatever, depending on their views. This is also a great opportunity to introduce some elements of Mystaran history. And of course I get to pit them against a dark guardian - perhaps a =20 banshee, a fanatic follower of Atzanteotl who let his or her soul to =20 be bund willingly?
