A Necropol

Necropols are the remaining ruins of cities destroyed during The Cataclysm that were never repopulated or rebuilt. While there are many scattered ruins from pre-cataclysm towns and villages across the globe, Necopols are distinguished by their size and previous importance: most Necropols were the capitals of pre-cataclysm nations, with populations of millions.

After the Cataclysm, repopulation of the remains of existing city ruins commenced across the world. Many of these repopulated cities became powerful and eventually evolved into the current Steel Cities, but with a reduced population and changed environment, some cities were abandoned and left to quietly decay in the wilderness.

Necropols are sources of dark folklore and archaeological interest, act as landmarks or rest points for travellers, and are sources of materials for scavengers.
