This article refers to the Necropolis building. For the Adventure Map location, see Cover of Darkness (Adventure Map).

| Cost:

1000

| Effect:
|
| Creates an unexplored area of 20 square radius around the town for opposing players, which is regenerated at the beginning of the owner's turn.
|
The effect is similar to the cover of darkness (a sphinx on a platform emitting a shroud) found on the adventure map. A Tower town with a lookout tower can (partially) cancel the effect for tower's owner. However, a skyship does not cancel the effect.
On the other hand, the Cover may inadvertently reveal the necropolis' [rough] position, if the opposing players have not seen the town yet, but they notice that the same part of map is being covered each turn.
