Necropolises

A necropolis, or city of the dead is a large settlement occupied by the undead. 
A Necropolis is usually a giant underground city, hidden deep within the largest graveyard of an area, it's a vast subterranean land of the undead filled with incorporeal and corporeal beings of such a diversity that even the most hardened biologists will find hard to imagine. Necromancer and Death Knights flock to these places searching knowledge and adventures respectively. Some have universities dedicated to the arts and study of the afterlife. Necromancers and Death Knights go to train there and increase their dreaded power. 
Constructed under the lands like the sprawling metropolis of the dead, Necropolis’ are meant to be built with every amenity in mind for the prospective undead, and fitted with the newest in unlife support systems in the undead business. Able to take even the waste located in the sewers into tons of pure, recycled matter that fill the everyday needs of the silent majority every single day. 
The undead adopt a distinctive gothic architectural style in their necropolis’.
Unlike most tomb hamlets or cemetery towns, a Necropolis’ typically invites outsiders in; it needs them. Those who die within its walls feed and power the city. It is a tourist trap, a self-perpetuating machine feeding on the living. The souls of dead adventurers turn arcane wheels, and their corpses are re-purposed as zombies, skeletons or other undead marionettes that prowl the alleys to continue the city’s unknowable bidding.

Necropolis’ also serve in times of war. The necropolis is a monolithic castle-like structure that serves as the central command structure of the undead army. Resources are harvested and processed within its walls to keep the amount of undead warriors stable. 
There are two generic types, halls of the dead, and black citadels. Monolith Necropolis’ can be literally torn free from the ground by the undead and fly around.
The vengeful animi of the dead protect the necropolis from enemy attackers.
