The Palatine Spires: Inquisimunda at Adepticon 2018

   Above the polluted clouds of Necromunda's Palatine hive cluster, the wealthy and influential battle for control of dark secrets buried in a spire-top cemetery.

   The billion, billion inhabitants of Necromunda are recycled like everything else. Upon expiration, their bodies are processed into corpse-starche to feed the living. So precious are resources that nothing can go to waste. Yet, if the toiling masses could see through the black smog and the stratified layers of the hive, at its peak they would discover even in death, the privileged flaunt their wealth with impractical excess. Astride one of the Palatine's most prestigious towers is the Actionosus Sky Cemetery. It's foundation is guided metal. It's walls, dark stone quarried half a sub sector away. Within, unpolluted soil transported from the shrine world of St. Keodris. Upon its ornate mausoleums are engraved the names of industrial Barons, noble house Lords, High Ecclesiarchs, and even members of the Lord Helmawr's own Family.

This event, for me, was incredible, so much beautiful artwork from everyone who participated.  I was able to view pieces in "real life" that i had merely stumbled upon in amazement through the ether of this internet and place faces to their creators. Many thanks to All the players for allowing me to be involved and assisting me as i fumbled through my first real foray into the new necromunda rule set and it's uses within our narrative. 

   Here are a few highlight photos i could grab between turns, I've done my best to caption these but I'm sure I've missed something. Enjoy!

The Drone assasins of YOD shadowed by one of it's many gene clones thirsty for its first blooded, anticipate the opening of the cemetery's elevator doors. What glorious cacophony awaited them on the other side?

Powers clash, secrets are revealed.

The fog of fear floats through the graves of the graveyard as R. Meade's Inquisitorial warband becomes familiar with a freshly exhumed corpse's hidden information.
