| abstract | - These pillars were one of eight major sites in the realm which adventurers once quested to find, in search of power or at the behest of the numerous kings of the land. In particular, the Stranger would be sent to this location at the command of the Lord British. The sign marking this site read "Vae Victis," and unlike many of the other strange edifices that dotted the Sosarian landscape it had no power to increase the physical or mental capabilities of those who approached it. After the death of Mondain, and the sundering of Sosaria, this grave, like many prominent landmarks, vanished with the passing of time. It is not known what became of it, but during the days of the Ophidian civilization, the land upon which it was located eventually became known as the Isle of Crypts, where the bodies of the Great Hierophants were interred.
