	Featuring another low ceiling, this hallway is also packed full of four foot ceramic jugs, amphora and other vessels, all painted to look like jade. These fill the hallway so completely that most need to be removed to gain entry. These a grave goods, filled with foodstuffs of various kinds. The jugs are all well sealed, but most of the food is spoiled, fermented, or otherwise foul. The low ceiling continues to cause the same -2 to Dex for those crouching. Long weapons at another -1.

	Hidden among the jugs are fifteen [[Grave Hornets]], which will awaken and attack any who move the jugs. They will attempt to do so with stealth at first, but will swarm if intruders put up a fight.		Hidden among the jugs are fifteen [[Grave Hornets]], which will awaken and attack any who move the jugs.

	Like the lunar tomb, the main chamber of the solar side has a low ceiling and is packed with grave goods. These goods focus more on solar imagery and those made from precious metal are made from gold, not silver. The painting in this room contains an exact likeness of [[Q'in Sanizaj]], from the point of view of the tombs original position in the city, as if the walls were transparent and looking out onto Wyr'palja's creation. Like the lunar tomb, the wals conceal five doors which open onto spherical rooms. Unlike the lunar rooms, all five of these rooms have the same appearance, except for slight changes in material.

	Each sphere is largely empty, the walls covered with strange patterns. Those making Perception + Occult (7) rolls will get the impression that the patterns have something to do with a particular material. This difficulty of this test is reduced by two for any who have read [[''Alkahest'']]. Within the center of the sphere, held up by a pillar of the same magical material referenced in the patterns, is a sarcophagus made from a mixture of jade of all colors and orichalcum. Sculpted birds of all varieties line the sides of the coffin, giving the impression that they are holding it aloft. Each sarcophagus is sealed with a complex mechanical lock and heavy lid, requiring a Dex + Larceny (5) check to open and a Strength + Athletics of 11 to lift. The sarcophagus is not trapped.
