Following the dank, fetid sewers will yield, to some, a terrible secret. For that is the only entrance into NECROPOLIS. Entombed within dark walls, the town stews in rot and pestilence as time slows to a crawl. Undead shamble the fields of skulls and fungi, while darker creatures lurk in the ancient woods and swamp. Things skitter about the crowded village, between the alleys of crumbling buildings and the feet of weary residents. In the church, a tall man in a stained robe gives long rambling sermons that contort the minds of those who listen. And looming over it all is the decrepit manse of the Harvester Cult, where arcane secrets and dark artefacts are studied, worshipped, and preserved.
NECROPOLIS is a mostly-complete WIP town founded in mid December of 2018. Welcome to the most depressing place in all of Freedonia!
Barely Audible Whispers
There are currently two convenient means of getting to NECROPOLIS, which both use iceroads.
- Use the Nexus to get to Gran Syre (Yellow hub #3). Jump down into water off of the sandstone bridge just beyond the quartz pillar. Facing where you came is the sewer entrance. Follow the iceroad until you reach the sewer hub at NECROPOLIS. Keep ascending the stairs, do not head down the long, unfinished rail tunnel! Under optimal conditions, this will take you roughly three minutes.
- Get to the NHS via the portal at Spawn. Take the southern road for ~1.7km until you reach the labelled offshoot to NECROPOLIS. This will take you directly to the portal in the sewer hub. Under optimal conditions, this will take you roughly three and a half minutes.
- Locate the NAE Road Corps entrance and follow it to the hub in the nether, take the correct tunnel, and follow it until you reach the portal.
- Freedonia Railway System connection coming eventually.
If you decide to visit NECROPOLIS by overland travel, take note there is only one entrance above ground. It is on an island swamp, shrouded in vines.
The Men in the Walls are Watching
There are a number of public access features to cast your eyes on in NECROPOLIS, many of which you would struggle to find anywhere else.
- Custom Biome. Yes, the f3 menu will state that it's a swamp, but is that what your eyes are telling you?
- Church of the Dark Harvester
- The Wizard's Manse
- The Sewage System
- The Crypt of Decay
- The Vaults of Zin
- The MEAT ENGINE
- Various hidden secrets and Easter eggs
- Free loot dispenser. This contraption will eventually offer free tools and equipment on a timed cooldown. Quality will range, including all types of unenchanted tools and armour, music discs, saddles, and more.
Something is Not as it Should be
At some point in the future, the residential homes in NECROPOLIS will be raffled off in the NECROPOLIS Home Lottery.
- Homeowners will be randomly selected from the list of participants.
- Homes will be randomly assigned to homeowners.
While every house is unique and has usable interior space, some are clearly 'winner' homes, and some are clearly 'tough luck' homes. Each lucky homeowner will receive a written book detailing life in town, and the homeowners agreement. This lottery is a one time event, though spots may open up if residents are evicted. Homeowners in NECROPOLIS are entitled to special benefits.
They Claw at the Veil
A few rules, hints, and useful information about NECROPOLIS
- Monsters are everywhere. Slimes especially, which may prove useful to some. Pack for the occasion.
- Nothing can be edited, anywhere, unless specified otherwise. If you accidentally break something, please leave a sign note behind or a Greport.
- Scampi_ can be contacted via Discord, private message, or MCO Email.
- The area seems to have anomalous properties. These include the feather falling enchantment sometimes not working, mysterious endermen holding random objects appearing, all of the trees formerly emitting daylight despite being completely covered, and the occurrence of a terrifying event where hundreds of indestructible, frozen monsters appeared everywhere at once.
A Temporary Stasis
At 2019/05/20, The Vaults of Zin and the personal vaults of Scampi_ were griefed into and ransacked. Total losses were incredibly high, not even including the removal of all irreplaceable artefacts. With a reimbursement off the table, the only option was a total chunk rollback, and construction was halted. On 2019/09/25, the entirety of the NECROPOLIS was restored to just before the attack. Stasis has ended, and the Harvester Cult marches on...
What horrors lie between the rotting hovels?
One could easily get lost...
