Remember How This Came to Pass: The Plague of
Madness was unleashed upon the city of Wati while
religious authorities were engaged in infighting. This rule
is a reminder that the necropolis remains a holy place, and
those who engage in needless conflict and banditry are not
only criminals, but accursed.
Every Slave’s Hut Is a Memorial: Every structure within
the necropolis is a testament to the people who lived and
died in the city. Explorers must not desecrate or vandalize
standing structures and tombs, but preserve them as the
memorials they were intended to be. Some structures
may be trapped or decrepit, but willful and unnecessary
destruction will not be tolerated.
Honor the Departed: The dead should be treated with
dignity and respect. If the interred need to be disturbed
to recover an antiquity or relic, they should be returned
to their resting places carefully. It is understood that the
ancient dead are often brittle, but there is no need for
the contents of a sarcophagus to be summarily dumped
on the ground. This rule does not apply to the undead or
other abominations.
Failure to comply with these rules can result in, but
is not limited to, expulsion from the necropolis, a ban
on continued exploration, seizure of recovered valuables,
and arrest and prosecution by local authorities.
