The Sanctum of the Undying

Purpose / Function

The Sanctum of the Undying serves as the nerve center for the Necrotic Custodians, a critical hub where the intricate operations of zombie and undead management are meticulously orchestrated. This formidable stronghold is designed to accommodate the complex and multifaceted needs of the Custodians, ensuring the effective creation, maintenance, and deployment of their zombie and undead workforce.

The Sanctum of the Undying is not just a physical location but a symbol of the Necrotic Custodians’ power and control over their zombie and undead workforce. Its advanced infrastructure, high-security measures, and integration of necromantic and technological elements make it a critical component in maintaining the efficiency and stability of their operations within Necropolis.

Alterations

The site where the Sanctum now stands was originally a sprawling production facility built during the era before the Fall. It was intended for mass android production and storage. The building featured traditional stone and metalwork with large, open spaces for the production line. Its design reflected the grandeur and ambition of its creators, with intricate machines and vast, high-ceilinged rooms.

As necromancy became a dominant force within Necropolis, the facility was repurposed to serve the growing needs of the Necrotic Custodians. This transition marked the beginning of its transformation into the Sanctum of the Undying. Significant modifications were made to accommodate the new functions the building would serve. Laboratories for necromantic research, breeding chambers, and high-security perimeters were established. The building was fortified with reinforced materials and imbued with protective wards.

Under the leadership of the Necrotic Custodians, the facility underwent extensive reconstruction to become a fully operational headquarters for zombie and undead management. The new design emphasized security, functionality, and the integration of necromantic technology. The Sanctum continues to evolve with the needs of the Custodians. Recent upgrades have focused on increasing the efficiency of zombie and undead management and enhancing security measures. It remains a crucial institution within Necropolis, central to the operational success of the Necrotic Custodians and a symbol of their control over the zombies and undead.

Over the years, the Sanctum has faced various challenges, including internal power struggles, external threats from rival factions, and the occasional rogue zombie outbreak. Each challenge has prompted upgrades and adjustments to its systems and security measures. Its imposing architecture and advanced technology reflect the Custodians' commitment to maintaining order and efficiency within Necropolis, serving as a constant reminder of their influence within Necropolis.

Necrotic Custodians

You stand before the Sanctum of the Undying, its sheer presence imposing against the backdrop of Necropolis. The building looms like a dark monument to control and decay, its towering walls reinforced with a seamless fusion of stone, metal, and otherworldly enchantments that shimmer faintly in the dim light. Jagged spires rise from its perimeter, each crowned with glowing wards that pulse in a rhythmic cadence, exuding an eerie green hue that paints the surrounding landscape in ghostly shadows. At its peak, the Central Command Dome gleams, its surface an obsidian-black sphere that reflects the flickering haze of the city like a cold, unfeeling eye.

Surrounding the structure, layers of electrified fences hum softly, accompanied by the occasional whir of surveillance drones gliding overhead. Automated turrets, dormant yet ominously watchful, track your every movement. The ground beneath your feet is hardened and barren, scored with faint scorch marks where defensive barriers have been tested and deployed. Everything about the Sanctum exudes meticulous order and impenetrable security, a chilling reminder of the Necrotic Custodians' iron grip over Necropolis and their mastery over the legions of the within.
