The Necropolis of Syphax, formerly simply Syphax, was a [dwarf|dwarven]] town in the crystal caves of Kharakun, located roughly 40 miles southwest of Dawnshard Mascezel at a depth of half a mile. Once one of the largest dwarven communities on the southern side of the Fangs of Khurazar, the Necropolis was abandoned in Y9942* after geophagic zombies of an unclear origin swept through its tunnels and grand crystal-hall. The survivors, of which there were few, fled to outlying villages around Irassa, where most now still live.
Prior to its evacuation, the people of Syphax had cultivated a long tradition as skilled sculptors, with many specializing in producing the sort of light-catching totems prized by the surface-dwelling sun giants.
