The Discovery
It has been said that great discoveries are rarely preceded by 'eureka', but rather, 'huh, that's funny'. The Delver who ended up in the rubble of the old buildings off the path into the Iron Mines would later insist that he thought the buildings were important all along. His companions would note that he was holding the map upside down when he had gotten separated from them.
Regardless of how it happened, sifting through the ruins would reveal an entrance - an opening into one of the largest and best preserved buildings ever discovered in the Old City.
...A mausoleum.
Rows after rows of vaults, each assumedly housing a coffin, though no one was terribly interested in cracking them open to verify. It was enormous - it took 30 minutes to walk from one end to the other and half that going by width. Though one of the original entrances was sealed in from the other side by solid rock, the other three opened into tunnels made by Pokémon, leading off to who-knows-where.
The discovery, made immediately after the earthquakes, was kept quiet for a bit before the Council deemed it important enough for an announcement:
Before a full assessment is made, the building should only be entered by experienced Delvers, Enlightened, and Trainers. Any native Pokémon, if they exist, are as of yet unidentified, although preliminary forays have shown signs of inhabitants within the building and connecting tunnels.
Of course... no one really doubted what kind of Pokémon would be discovered in a place like this, did they? As right they shouldn't.
In the middle of the night, they begin to make their presence known, following the human explorers back up to their homes... Some will be rudely awakened by the sounds of crashes and screams in their homes. Others will blearily blink awake and find themselves face-to-face with a disembodied head floating before them. They drift throughout the city, excited to have found a new haunt... It seems for the time being, the people of Union will have to deal with these nuisances - and hope they have strong hearts.
[For the next few days, the following Pokémon will make sporadic appearances in Union: Misdreavus, Drifloon, and Shuppet. They will generally be mischievous rather than aggressive, although you may feel free to NPC aggressive ghosts if you wish. They will become bored and return to their homes before the Contest begins, ICly. The ghosts native to Union may also become excited by their fellows and might stir up a bit of trouble: Duskull, Gastly, Golett, and Litwick. You may comment here to explore the Mausoleum or to initiate ghost scenarios as you wish. You may also make new posts in reaction.
Mods will not be responding to any threads unless a Player Plot of some sort is requested.
The area Mausoleum has been added to the Map/Wild Pokémon post.
Unrelated to these events, due to inconsistencies in mechanics, the abilities of the Caretaker profession are being adapted to the Enlightened Ability Mastery of Training. This announcement will be repeated in our next OoC announcement post, but it is effective beginning immediately.]

I-I'm sorry...
[She's definitely looking embarrassed and chastised.]
