The Catacombs

The Catacombs
Beneath even the underground sections of Iwagakure lay a series of tunnels and crypts know simply as “The Catacombs”. Accessible by only a small number of the tunnels, the entrances to the Catacombs are often protected by the village guard so as to preserve the integrity of the historic crypts that lay within. Winding throughout the lower regions of Iwagakure, these tunnels are sometimes thought of as a labyrinth as each tunnel often has several offshoots that simply end, giving visitors no choice but to turn back. During normal daylight hours, these tunnels and crypts can be visited by village citizens and certain guests of the village so that these individuals may pay their respects to those who built the foundation for the very village they reside within and learn the histories of those who had come before. During the evening hours, citizens and visitors are barred from entering the catacombs unless special permissions have been granted. This does not prevent many from trying, however, as the crypts are often the target of pranks by village adolescents.


Though once thought to be a rather small network of maze-like tunnels and crypts, the recent discovery by one member of the village guard of previously unexplored caverns calls into question just how large these catacombs truly are. Since the discovery, all visitation of the catacombs has been denied so that members of the village guard, as well as village historians, have the opportunity to explore these new regions and discover new insights into the village’s history. Many secrets live within these ruined halls, it is only a matter of uncovering them.

The Crypts Within the catacombs throughout Iwagakure lay several crypts of fallen legendary leaders and warriors from throughout history. Honored by the living, these legends, long since passed on, are held in high regard and their tombs watched over and protected from overt outside influence. Many of these crypts still possess the items that these individuals were laid to rest with, prompting the need for village guards to prevent visitors from getting too close lest they steal or damage them. While some of these crypts are simply too important to allow the public any access to them, many of them are accessible to the public so that respects can be paid.
