Would hate to give away my ideas, but then again I'll probably won't have the time to implement this :hehe: . So some other more competent modder might as well give a go at it:
An ancient city of the dead, built using monolithic rock within a canyon. What's so special about it you ask? That the undead are unkillable. After you break apart a skeleton, it will reassemble itself after a minute and keep pursuing you. After a while you'll have a whole swarm of them chasing you, so be careful no to get cornered! The backstory is that the city was once a very profitable mining location, but the profits came at the expense of the slaves, treated at times worse than animals by their masters. Eventually things reached a point where their patience has been exhausted, and they sought vengance on their oppressors no matter the cost. One day, a necromancer visited the city and felt compassion for the slaves. To help them get their revenge, he instilled them with a spell that, once they died, they would revive as the living dead that pursues the same hatred they did in life. Boldened by this, the slaves started a rebellion and assaulted everyone else in the city in a mad, indiscriminate rage. Though the town guard was well armed, any time they slew a rebel, he would just get back up and keep fighting as a corpse, still filled with rage against the oppressors. Hence noone could stop them, only slow them down. Slowly but surely, the guard's numbers dwindled, and the butchery consumed the whole city, until the dead were the only things left in it's stone halls, still filled with neverdying rage. The objective of the quest is to find whatever keeps reviving the dead in this forsaken place and destroy it, to finally lay the forlorn city to rest.
