The number of necromancer towers is influenced by [[human]] populations (which require low savagery and large tracts of neutral land) and the number of secrets in world generation. Necromancer towers can be a source of [[fun]] in both [[adventurer mode]] and [[fortress mode]]. |

The towers generally have a few necromancers and a lot of [[undead]]. Becoming a necromancer yourself requires reading about the secrets of life and death, which are either found on a [[slab]] or in a [[book]]. If you decide to attack the tower, very high combat skills will be required to survive the zombie guards, and the necromancers themselves will be quick to reanimate any dead companion you happen to have brought. Alternatively, you can become a [[vampire]] either by drinking another vampire's blood or defiling a [[temple]], which will make undead passive to your presence (since you're undead yourself now) and allow you to simply stroll your way into the place and even have a chat with the necromancers. Becoming a [[werebeast]] may help in fighting the zombies, but keep in mind undead don't tolerate werebeasts like they do with vampires. |
