Step #1:
You will need to run through the Necropolis to get a heart.
Step #2:
Once you have obtained a heart, you can purchase the Simucoin Item to permanently uncurse it.
Lich Room #24323 to uncurse your heart - just INFUSE ETHER
[Enshrouded Temple - 24323]
The old abandoned temple appears to have been deserted for quite some time. Several wrotwood trees have grown into the structure, shattering windows and destorying walls. Dust-laden pews are the only remnants that resemble a place of worship, no other holy trinkets are recognizable in the debris. Through several broken floorboards is a passageway leading down, surrounding by swamp water.
Obvious exits: out
Step #3:
You will need to have an uncursed heart before turning it into the spirit orb. Run through the necropolis again, and go into the rift. Follow the instructions in the second post.

[Darkness, Pit - 23170]
Large chunks of a stone bridge clutter the ground, as they must have fallen from above where the necropolis was blocked off. Skeletal remains are piled up high, some still having flesh on the bone. The rocky walls climb further than the eye can see. You also see a concealed narrow pathway up the rocky wall (hidden).

[Darkness, Tunnel - 24073]
Fireflies flit about in the darkness; a small grouping of them has been caught in an intricate spider web. A breach in one of the walls has become home to a spider the size of a giantman's fist. The husks of its prey litter the ground and create a crunching sound underfoot.

[Darkness, Tunnel - 24074]
A large snake skin has taken up most of the walkway, causing you to hug close to the walls. Jagged stones jut out at every turn threatening to rip open anything they come in contact with. The faint sounds of something slithering can be heard in the distance.

[Necropolis, Nexus - 24075]
Several western tunnels lead off in different directions, all so poorly lit, it's difficult to see where they lead. A shallow grave looks to have been recently disturbed, with piles of dirt displaced all around it. Off to the east, a faintly glowing lantern illuminates the path.

[Necropolis, Descent - 24077]
An old iron lantern hangs over a giant pile of rubble from a recent cave-in. A steep ramp leading up is covered in encrusted gore, likely used to dump the dead that had no place in the necropolis.
Obvious exits: west

[Necropolis, Hall of the Dead - 24079]
Upon the moss-covered limestone walls, shallow niches house a number of sarcophagi. Iron sconces give off a pale green illumination, giving the hall an eerie presence. Smeared trails of blood and gore lead in every direction. Lengths of tattered cloth are scattered across the floor. You also see a high-arched marble doorway.

[Necropolis, Corridor - 24095]
Rivulets of water glisten on the walls, disappearing in and out of patches of moss that cling to the limestone. Small piles of entrails shine wetly in the light of the torches set into several sconces placed around the room. Drag marks in dust-caked blood lead from the north toward a crumbling stone archway.
Obvious exits: south

Spoiler group just went through a crumbling stone archway.
[Necropolis, Narthex - 24096]
Spiderwebs fill the corners of this room and cobwebs dangle over a crumbling stone archway, waving gently in the slightest breeze. A large stone sarcophagus, its lid slightly askew, rests in the center of the room. Faint scratching noises emanate from the sarcophagus, but the source of the sound is safely hidden in the deep shadows.

[Necropolis, Narthex - 24098]
A ring of torches burns brightly around the room, yet the ceiling is lost in the darkness above. Here and there, orbs of reflected torchlight shine back at you from above, but seem to blink in and out of existence. Piles of cobweb-encased bones litter the floor, and the sense of being watched permeates the dusty air. You also see a crumbling stone sarcophagus.

[Necropolis, Narthex - 24106]
Urns of various sizes take up all available space in this room. Scarabs, spiders, and beetles of all sizes scurry in and out of the urns, creating a nearly constant drone of scuttling sounds. The chipped and broken pieces of dislodged lids lay scattered across the stone floor, crunching under your feet with every step. You also see a web-covered wooden coffin.

[Necropolis, Narthex - 24108]
Six large stone sarcophagi form a rough circle around the circumference of the dais in the center of the room. The life sized image of a knight in full armor has been painstakingly chiseled into the lid of each sarcophagus. The tattered, moldy remains of six banners stand in the center of the circle, the faded cloth waving gently in the slightest breeze. A crumbling stone stairwell climbs up and out of the narthex.

[Necropolis, Ascendant - 24113]
The low, vaulted ceiling contains a myriad of cracks and fissures, the depths of which seem to be intensified by the dim torchlight. From time to time, a hazy shower of dust falls from some of the larger cracks, threatening to bring the rest of the ceiling down on top of you. To the south is an expansive stone door which appears open. You also see a dark passageway.
Obvious exits: none

[Necropolis, Dark Sanctuary - 24132]
A towering sculpture in the likeness of Luukos dominates the sanctuary -- crafted from viridian marble, time has worn its way through the rock, causing severe damage. Much of its left arm and shoulder lie strewn across the northern wall, entirely blocking off an archway. Underneath the wreckage, a partially collapsed tunnel has been exposed. A narrow chasm can be seen off to the west of an iron-hinged ebonwood door. You also see a subterranean pit.
Obvious exits: none

Spoiler's group just went down a partially collapsed tunnel.
[Necropolis, Sunken Tunnel - 24133]
The unstable walls have buckled in several places, depositing large chunks of stone along the path and nearly blocking the way ahead. Mounds of dirt and rubble cause the route through the tunnel to be more circuitous in order to avoid possibly creating a cave in. You also see a rotted wooden coffin.

Obvious exits: none
>go fiss
You get on your hands and knees. You duck your head and crawl into the rocky fissure.
[Necropolis, Abysm]
The scent of sulphur intoxicates the area, the fumes so thick they feel heavy on the air. The cramped space is engulfed in darkness, and there is barely enough room to crawl up through the narrow tunnel.
Obvious exits: up, out
*** DO NOT STAND UP HERE IF YOU'RE A TALL RACE ***
You crawl up.

[Castle of the Damned, Nadir]
The circular chamber has four unlit brazier surrounding an icy rhimar sigil. At the north end of the room is a massive black ora door, which is closed. The chamber is bare of any other furnishings or relics. A makeshift set of steps leads leading upward through a tunnel in the ceiling.
Obvious exits: up
>stab sigil
Spoiler picks up a sharp chunk of ice by the sigil and slices into his hand!
>hold sigil
Icy blue flames rise from the floor as Spoiler clenches a fist over an icy rhimar sigil. Droplets of blood drip from his hand, causing the blaze to coalesces and form an ethereal lich revenant who is standing in the center of the sigil. She rises and spreads her arms wide, igniting blue flames in each of the four unlit braziers. She opens her mouth and lets loose a terrifying scream, summoning the flames from the braziers to her. The lich revenant points outward and drops her hand that ripples a force across the room.
You are driven to your knees.
Roundtime: 5 sec.

You swing at a revenant and it dies.
The lich revenant slumps silently to the floor, her red eyes fading to grey.

You search the lich revenant.
She had a glowing shadowglass phylactery, a neck worn, a faded black linen shroud emblazoned with a fiery eye, some armor, a shield, a weapon.
An ethereal lich revenant fades into oblivion.
Spoiler picks up a glowing shadowglass phylactery.
Spoiler presses a glowing shadowglass phylactery into an empty depression on a massive black ora door, causing the door to open.
Spoiler group just entered a massive black ora door.
[Castle of the Damned, Chamber]
Blood stains the floor of the chamber, surrounding a raised platform in the center of the room. A glowing violet mote floats above a colossal granite sepulcher. A faintly glowing exit within the mist serves as the only egress from the castle, as the black ora door is completely surrounded by a magical barrier from this side of the chamber. You also see an extremely important sign carved from bone.
Obvious exits: none
>read sign
In scorched, blackened lettering, it reads:
***
You may place a black ora heart in the mote or search the sepulcher for a new heart. You may only choose one. Pick carefully! If you do not have a heart already, the only option would be searching the sepulcher! The heart MUST belong to you!
***
>sear sep
The black ora artifact in the granite sepulcher is giving off the aura of the Dauntless spell. Search the sepulcher again within the next 30 seconds to pull the artifact out, or try to rummage through the sepulcher again to find an artifact giving off a different spell aura.
Roundtime: 5 sec.

Roundtime: 3 sec.
The walls surrounding you resonate like a single heartbeat, retreating deep within the necropolis.
>go exit
You wander into the glowing exit.
[Necropolis, Egress]
A thick blanket of mist stretches across the entire area, making it difficult to know what is ahead. A putrid smell of swamp lingers in the cramped space, coming from an outward direction. Looming overhead is a diagonal blackish-green rift that tears into the very fabric of time.
