Unfortunately the main comic has not been updated since July of 2020, when Wyatt noted that he was starting a new job that might interfere with his ability to update the comic. However in mid-2022 [[https://twitter.com/jakewyattriot/status/1525161628978647041 he stated on twitter]] that he expects to be able to return to ''Necropolis'' sometime in 2023.

* WretchedHive: The hinterlands around the Old Necropolis is depicted as this; dead cities that house devils making bargains, bandits ceaselessly terrorizing the land (Anise points out the irony of Lin and herself going out to investigate not that bandits are terrorizing people, but that the bandits have been so badly scared that they're ''not'' terrorizing the countryside), human skulls casually left by the side of the road, and no help from rest of the kingdom because it's too remote for them to do anything about it. Notably, the warden Anise is also originally from the hinterlands and ''despises'' the place.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: The Third Sword and her entire family are always barefoot, with her only wearing a simple red anklet early on. When she acquires new clothes, boots go along with them, so it may have been that she and her family were too poor for footwear.

** A mysterious witch also hoped to turn this trope in the Third Sword's favor regarding her deal with Ibis, noting that the nature of these deals often means that LoopholeAbuse can be used due to imprecise use of language, but because Third Sword had promised "everything" she had to Ibis, said witch is certain there is no chance of it happening for her.

* YouGotSpunk: Lin is impressed by the toughness and grit of the Third Sword, and recognizing that the girl has "good iron" in her makes Lin propose turning her into a warrior in service to the Queen instead of executing her.
-->'''Lin:''' Majesty, you got the right of it. The girl's an insolent, ignorant little killer with no shoes and less sense. But I like what she's made of. Kid's got real iron in her. You don't toss out good iron just because you found it in the dirt. You beat it into steel and point it at your enemies.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: The rebels killed the Conqueror Queen's guards and then came for her. She killed their leaders, conscripted the mob, and then brought the entire city back under control.
