Necropolis

Made of dark gray stone. The city is filled with tombs, monuments, and death chests. Over city hangs the undulating Everwyrm. There is always quiet wordless music throughout the city. Hidden by the forst wall, the residents call this area the stormlands.

Economy

The Necropolis is an enigma. No one should live in a large graveyard. Food is grown in glasshouses. Building materials are not needed as the population lives in the tombs, catacombs, death houses. Magic is in heavy use. No other country knows they exist. The town is divided into guilds the provide necessities via an elaborate barter structure. Animal husbandry takes place in tombs or underground. Gatherers get items from the forest. Some hunters obtain other meat for the town.

Culture

Living with the dead makes for an interesting time in the necropolis. Much of the culture revolves around making the tombs livable and getting around the odd rules of the Everwyrm. They have a rigid guild system and many of the people are placed in the guilds as young children.

Unlike many area's in Eidmaharia, the residients only use one name. Names with a strong s denote charm witches.

Death

The dead are placed in a casket at the entrance to the catacombs. With in the day, the casket is gone. Supposedly inttered. Sometimes a monument of some sort (headstone, death chest, tomb) is found in the city dedicated to the person. Since no one living can enter the catacombs and continue to live, it is unclear where the body goes or who makes the monuments when they appear. Even rarer, new monuments appear for people that are not form the city taht no one knows.
The Witch Guard has some lights that will allow them to go into the catacombs and come back out. However they will only rarely use them. Some say there are no lights and it's just a rumor the guard put out there.
