	\|summary=The towering ~~cathedral-like building at the heart of~~ the [[Umbrasia District]]. ~~Merely gazing upon the~~ dramatic arches and ~~sharp points~~ of ~~its towers and architecture can send a shiver down one's spine.~~ [[Illa Phasmere]] is the ~~citygod~~ of ~~House Umbrasia and is contained~~ within ~~the citadel~~.		\|summary=The Umbrasia Citadel is a towering structure deep within the [[Umbrasia District]]. The citadel's design is reminiscent of a grand cathedral. It is a solemn looking building, featuring prominent, dramatic arches and sharply pointed spires. The [[Citygod\|citygod]] of house Umbrasia, [[Illa Phasmere]], is contained inside the highest floor of the tallest spire, overlooking the rest of the district from within.
	\|services=The ~~basement levels~~ of the citadel ~~contain~~ Umbrasia's ~~catacombs~~. ~~They are something of an unusual sight in Nodd due~~ to ~~resurrection and its mechanics. The remains of some~~ of the ~~House's most notable members who found [[Slang_and_Colloquialisms#Final Death\|final death]] can be found in the catacombs. Rituals are performed~~ to offer tribute ~~to the deceased and often advice or direction is sought from the spirits~~.		\|services=The ground floor of the citadel, along with a handful of floors just above, are dedicated to Umbrasia's ritual halls. Umbrasian mages use these spaces to work their magics, performing various rites communing with the spirits of the dead, whether to speak with them or offer tribute.

	The ~~surface level entry to the citadel and the lower floors above it hold~~ Umbrasia's ~~many ritual halls~~. ~~These halls~~ are ~~where House mages perform rites to summon~~ spirits ~~of those departed~~ for ~~a brief time~~.		The basement levels serve as catacombs - an odd sight in Nodd, given how remains are typically treated. Interred within are some of Umbrasia's most respected members who have found their [[Slang_and_Colloquialisms#Final Death\|final death]]. They are treated respectfully, and their spirits are often consulted for advice.

	~~The~~ middle ~~floors~~ of the citadel ~~contain labs~~ and theaters ~~where House Umbrasia~~ mages ~~perform their work and~~ research into ~~necromantic magics as well as autopsy and study~~ the ~~deceased~~. ~~Umbrasia's work~~ with ~~necromancy focuses around~~ the deceased ~~and animation rather than an attempt to return "true life"~~ to a body, ~~as that is left to~~ the ~~council proper. It should be noted that all interactions with~~ the ~~deceased are done with~~ the ~~utmost respect by merit of Umbrasia~~'s ~~beliefs about death~~. ~~These levels also contain Umbrasia's dormitories which vary in size and offerings depending on one's rank and renown alike~~.		Above the ritual halls, in the middle levels of the citadel, there are a number of floors dedicated to laboratories and autopsy theaters. Dormitories for house members are also found here, with more desirable dormitories set aside for more prestigious house members. On these floors, Umbrasian mages research into the [[Death Aspect]]. Their research is done with respect for the deceased, due to the beliefs of the typical Umbrasian. Research into reanimating a dead body is allowed, though limited - true resurrections remain the purview of the [[The Council\|Council]], by the Council's command. A mage seeking to reanimate dead flesh typically creates something akin to a construct.

	The highest levels of the citadel ~~house the~~ dying chambers. ~~These are~~ specialized chambers ~~which offer~~ specific ~~and relatively~~ controlled ~~means~~ of death and ~~offer~~ the ~~opportunity to experience and explore that particular demise.~~		The highest levels of the citadel are dedicated to 'dying chambers'. Within these specialized chambers, an individual can experience a specific death in a controlled manner. They are used to explore the moment of death and the effects a given circumstance has upon death.
			\|atmosphere=The Umbrasia citadel instills many emotions in those who find themselves upon it's grounds. The environment is deathly calm, a calmness which tends to spread to visitors. The interior is expansive and impressive, and inspires a sense of awe - or perhaps a mournful impotence, depending upon the guest. The echoed sounds of footsteps and whispered conversations are constant, regardless if one is alone or not. Manifestations of the deceased are commonplace in the citadel's halls. Those who work within the citadel tend to move in an eerie and quiet manner, as though simply drifting towards their destination.
	~~The absolute apex of the citadel is where the citygod [[Illa Phasmere]] is contained~~.
	\|atmosphere=~~Any citizen stepping into the~~ citadel ~~of House Umbrasia can feel the calming pall of its~~ environment ~~overtake them~~. The ~~citadel~~ interior is ~~almost excessively~~ expansive and ~~could inspire~~ a sense of awe or impotence, depending on the ~~viewer~~. ~~Footsteps echo long distances and the soft, sonorous~~ sounds of whispered conversations are ~~almost always audible - even when nobody~~ is ~~around to have them~~. ~~Sightings and manifestations~~ of deceased ~~or their emotions~~ are commonplace ~~within~~ the citadel's ~~mournful walls~~. ~~The mages~~ who ~~walk its corridors all seem~~ to move ~~with~~ an ~~eerily similar~~ and ~~somber gait~~, drifting ~~smoothly~~ towards their ~~next task~~.
