"She laid him in the stone's grey grip, 'My love no more is he; O Albion, my Albion, I've no consort by thee.'"


The Most Serene Mausoleum is the tomb of the Prince Consort, the living quarter of the Deathless, and the terminus of Necropolis Line. 

Oh and it's also built on top of the dead Judgements of Albion. The one that London murdered.

The Prince Consort's Tomb

"The Most Serene Mausoleum was built to commemorate Her Renewed Majesty's dead love. His tomb is the heart of the Mausoleum: the vaults, chapels, mourners and courtiers all arteries and capillaries to his memory."

The Mausoleum is built to house the body of the Prince Consort, Prince Albert. Many visitors came to the tomb to see the pale face of the Prince Consort. As a result, you need to pay to get better/private viewing.

The Prince Consort died because—
Actually no, he did not die. He's in a state of half-conscious, and can only communicate with coughing.


The Deathless

"The Most Serene Mausoleum houses more than just the Prince Consort. Under its soaring spires, the Empress keeps her most favoured courtiers. These lucky few are provided with every luxury they might wish, and a generous stipend of hours."

The Deathless are Her Renewed Majesty favourite courtiers. They lived luxuriously in the upper part of the Mausoleum, spending Hours that are given to them by Her Renewed Majesty. However for one to be a Deathless, one must fulfill a certain condition: They must be legally dead. This mean that a Deathless must not have property, title, or participates in poiltic. There are several Deathless that hold seniority among others.

  • The Dismal Chamberlain is the de facto leader of the Deathless. The usage of hours among the Deathless also make him the timekeeper of the Mausoleum. While surplus of Hours from Her Renewed Majesty would essentially make him immortal, he secretly seeks a different kind of immortality .
  • The Duchess Incarnadine is the bloodthirsty childhood friend of Her Renewed Majesty. She can often be seen menacing the footman by challenging them to a mock battle, none of them ever win.
  • The Macabre Counsellor is the grim and manipulative governess of some of Her Renewed Majesty's children and Ex-Lady of the Bedchamber. Her own daughter is taken from her by "Vicky" to Perdurance as a form of punichsment.
  • The Engraved Mourner is a clay man that is built to looks like an antique greek statue. He is the only Deathless who doesn't need Hours.
  • The Luminous Cardinal is the papal legate of the High Wilderness. His duty involves reinterpreting the Bible with the modern understanding of the heavens.

The Necropolis Line

The Necropolis Line is the High Wilderness incarnation of the London Necropolis Railway. Once its headquarter lies in Waterloo, but bringing Waterloo to the heaven is out of question. While its true that they are known to transport bodies to the mausoleum, the Deathless would often used them to transport unusual cargo (cough) Red Honey and Starshine (cough).
