Sometimes, you have too much nonsense for just a single book or even two.

Landing platforms for spaceships.

They were natural stone formations carved and excavated, long long ago. Then parts collapsed so they're called tombs.

Just a coincidence that several of them contain kings. Can't really explain that part.

Maybe when you call something like a tomb, treasure starts to spawn there randomly.

They were just natural rock formations that people decided to settle around and eventually hollow out to build tombs in.

The shield would draw sandworms. :P

Yeah, that's where I went too. They're big dumb heavy piles. Maybe a dam for a river in a cave with a triangular cross-section?
