Legend

this was the name used by the living human natives of the planet Necropolis. Much of their day-to-day activity is governed by the Master of Cerements, who works to ensure that the Curse of Sycorax will not be invoked. Many of the modern children of Nercpolis believed the ancient Curse was simply a bedtime story meant to scare children into behaving. However, the ancient rituals evolved into time-honored traditions, and the Necropolitans observed them all. Funerals were especially impressive and elaborate, but solemn and thought-provoking nonetheless. The loved ones of the deceased are kept separated from the body, for the Necropolitans believed that if the dead person saw the living mourn, they would come back from the dead. The family of the departed therefore lived in seclusion for seven days.
