1. Marksaline the Necromorph Queen

Black Marker Necromancer cult and it's unfortunately fortune beginning 5 / 7

Necropolis was a blooming Trading hub.
Even with Equestria on it's knees did it Trade resumed.

Especially in the Necromancy department. Unexpectedly did other Nations started to mimic the Griffonia success in getting Spys to talk.
The Necromancer always bring back the Corpses but not always helped to make them talk. For instance was a Yeti delivered to them, that just was unlucky to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Griffon interigation had been less than subtile and rather fast and casual caused his death. The Necromancer bring him back but after asking some question of their own refused to 'make him talk' he was just a Merchant that had been on his way to delivered a not strictly legal but most definitivly not illegal pack of documents from one client to another. All of it was in code and the Merchant know it. He would have even parted with it if he know it could have spared him torture and death.

The Necropolis their for demanded his goods returned to the Yeti lands and a formal apology to him and his familie or they stop aiding Griffonia with Necromancy.

Griffon Nobility first was in uproare about it, until the King and Queen of Griffonia agreed. The responsible interigation team was punished monetary and their outright savage superiors got executed and their families had to pay reperations.

Griffonia honor would not be tarnished by a small group of individuals like Celestia dishonored Equestria.

Shortly after that event got public and by royal decree spread to it's allys, did the Necropolis Counsel no longer get any disrespect or threats for not treating all customers the same.

The next time the Spiders came, did they removed the Spider statues and replaced them with higher quality ones and added hidden Cameras to the design.

They fullfilled all maintnance and refined the defensiv Walls. Magic ruines now reinforced them and added stairs on the inside of the walls with safety railing made it possible to use them as observation positions.

The Caribu Colony had split eatch into factions. One of them see the weakend Equestria as easy targets and moved to the Dragon Lands, reminding them of their right to Gold Equestria still owned them. As well to inform them how well the border villages had been rather undefended lately.

When they offered a cooperation to invade Equestria, did the Dragon agree on Equestria being worthy of punishment for neglecting their dutys to honor their depths. Than the Dragons reminded them of their depths to the Dragon Lord before their Empire fell apart.

The agreement was setteld when the envoy of the Deer got eaten alive without exception, and their home Colony got a timely reminder of 'why not to play political Chess with Dragons'.

Abesinian and Gemstonewolfes Territorys moved with proposals to Necropolis about them hiring the Spider to build / replace their Citys.

The Necropolis Counsel agreed to ask.

The Spiders declined.

One Gemstonedog tribe found themself robbed of a chance to earn their chance to obtain powerful allys trough the Spiders and tunneld their way into the Pyramid from outside Griffonia borders.

By the time they reached the Pyramid was the Spider workforce once more activ and the Pyramid pretty mutch abandoned.

Some... Opportunity driven Gemstonedogs hoped to find ways to peek into the success of the Spiders and study the Pyramid internal structure and found a huge and well made box, just laying around in one of the Rooms.

Since the Spiders just had it laying around in their Pyramid anyway, they relief the Spiders of the burden to dispose of this probably worthless for them huge well made box anyway.

By the time the Spiders returned to the Pyradmid for their maintnance and Material transmutation period, did they found the unknown sealed box stolen and a huge tunnel leading out of the broken fundament of the basement level.

[ Pov Hal 9000 C ]

Someone used our maintnance and refinement period of the Fort City Necropolis, to bypass our defenses and steal the unknown sealed Box.

That was not necessary a big problem, but their Pyramid needed repair, reenforcement on it's fundament, and added booby traps all over the Pyramid Interior in case the next maintenance interval would make the outside force return.
The Paw marks in the tunnel suggest a Gemstone race. It do not match with any marks of the to this point in Necropolis traveld races.

Necropolis send out a announcement that the Spiders had been robbed while aiding Necropolis population. They ask the removal to be timely undone, they would leave the faction unpunished, just this once. Failing to follow this generous offer returning the property of the Spiders, would risk the ire of a Spider race that can literally work for decades on end on the creation of a city and a burrow in the shape of a Pyramid. It was highly adviced not to force them to return it by themself with most unpleasent means.

The Gemstonedogs that had been stealing from the Spiders had been exiled alongside their aiding Packs. They no longer where allowed to use the word 'Gemstone' in their Names under threat of exterminating of every singel pack member, should they return to Gem Fido or other Gemstone Dog/Wolf territory .

The Box was returned, but the seal was already breached. The newly minted 'Diamonddog' packs got united by the knowlege of the Black Stone.

The broken Seal unfortunately also allowed some Necromancer to make contact with the Black Stone structure . They in turn become smarter, very docile or be found dead by pretty avoidable accidents.

Somewhere a Stone Statue shuddered in delightful terror. Something was spreading Chaos by simply existing.

The first steps of a hopeful, but partialy dreadful future grow from that day / Night.
