The Necropolis of Ot

When the first human died, it took everybody by surprise. Nobody knew that would happen. Life had seemed to be eternal. Nobody could remember a time before being alive, and nobody had yet conceived of a time after being alive. The revelation that they would someday die terrified the first City. To solve this problem, humanity sought the aid of sorcery. Unfortunately, sorcery is a sword without a hilt: there’s no safe way to hold it. The result of the first City’s invention of necromancy is the Necropolis of Ot.

Sights

A city of the dead governed by the dead. Pyramids of bone rise up in a mammoth cavern, ringed by walls of heaped skulls. Funerary urns, carved with the likeness of life, clutter the corners of every chamber and hallway.

Sounds

The dead whisper and mutter ceaselessly, but you can never catch exactly what they’re saying.

Smell and taste

It is dry as dust. Your lips are chapped.

Lighting

None.

Structures

The buildings of the necropolis are made of limestone, lined and decorated with millions of human bones. Doors are made of stone set on fulcrums at their center point, allowing them to easily turn.

Common monsters

Saprovore Imps, Ghosts, Zombies, Skeletons, Wraiths, Shadows, Skin Slimes, Tooth Fairies, Dire Owls, Monstrance Golems
