Everytime you collect 10 pages you will be able to open a tomb.
To get the key you have to sell a chapter of the dead to Vulgrim.

1. Key (Forge Lands)
This Death Tomb is right between The Nook and The Lost Temple.

Enter The Lair of the Deposed King and just keep walking down the stairs until you’re at the bottom. Go through the door and you will find the second Death Tomb.

Complete Lost Relics

Like a Noss
Defeat the four creatures named by Thane

The first boss is a bit tricky to find; he is actually underneath the questmarker. You need to climb the walls of the dungeon, and then grab the key inside. Use the key on the door, and just keep going.

The rest you shouldn’t have much trouble finding, since they all have quest markers at their position.
