In the new text given by the scouts, it is stated the plural for necropolis is necropolises...is this correct? i dont know but as far as blizzard is concerned it is.
I guess the argument starts again...

Necropolae is the proper (Greek) spelling for the plural of Necropolis.

Now pay attention here, I'm going to give you an Ancient Greek lesson free of charge.

In Ancient Greek, there are 'cases' - nominative, genitive, dative and accusative. Most of the time, the plural of the nominative is used for normal words in English.

The nominative singular of πόλις (pólis) is of course, πόλις. Now I'm not gonna bother with all the cases, but here's the nominative plural for good measure: πόλεις (póleis)

Now because necropolis comes from Greek, the plural is necropolEIS. Got it? Good.
