Precious items in Thra's history... kept here to let their stories be remembered.

The Tombs of Relics was a catacomb of halls located in Grot, about a half day's journey from Domrak.[2] It was considered sacred by the Grottan Clan,[2] as it contained relics of Thra's history.[1]

Access to the Tomb within Grot was barred by a heavy stone door,[2] while it was accessible from the Endless Forest via a tunnel traversed by the Breath of Thra.[3] It had been maintained by urLii since at least Thriya's expedition to Grot during the early Age of Division,[2] though only a select few knew of his existence.[1]

Its halls were filled with an enormous assortment of Gelfling treasures, including tapestries, tools, artwork and books.[2] Among its relics was the Dual Glaive, which was kept in a chamber accessible only to Gelfling, and was guarded by Warriors of Old.[1]

The Tomb inspired the game of Gricksies, whose lyrics were loosely based on the Tomb's layout.[2]
