Old Mortapolis is the virtual graveyard in the great Necronia, where the secrets of the dead are kept safe, and Necronia is under attack by a malevolent presence known as Rumor. The Keeper of Encryption fights the rumours with the help of a young programmer named Sourcerer and a golden gnome named Tweed. It is incumbent upon the Guardian and his allies to battle the deadly minions of the rumour in the Necronia to keep the many secrets of the dead safe in the virtual world and meatspace.
