Necropolis (WTO)

A Necropolis (pl. Necropoli) is a city of the dead, an amalgam of Haunts located in the Shadowlands. Necropoli are organized around a central Citadel, a massive reinforced Haunt designed to survive Maelstroms.

Following the Third Great Maelstrom, the chaos of the new Tempest resulted in a massive decentralization of Stgyian government. Starting with London, the Hierarchy began developing necropoli throughout the Shadowlands to serve as processing posts for freshly reaped souls and the safe harbor for lemures who had not yet resolved their fetters. Stygia became a nation of semi-independent city-states, with each necropolis ruled by an Anacreon, the local governor, whose Legion became de facto the most important legion for that city.
