I found a necromancer tower which was... really weird.  It was full of injured people fighting zombies.  I spotted an "Administrator Necromancer" so I went and tried to attack him, but it warned me about doing it so I didn't.  I talked to him and was able to receive a quest.

Then I saw a room that was absolutely full of zombies.  I walked up to it and then about 7 necromancers confronted me and told me to die.  I hacked at a few zombies but realised that that room probably had upwards of 1000 zombies in it (I mean looking at the floor showed more than a full page of enemies).  I tried to run off and attack a necromancer who was standing outside, but for some reason this turned all the people in town against me.  I wasn't able to escape the onslaught of random citizens (who seemed to be fighting zombies earlier?) and one brought me down.

Looking up the site on worldgen there seem to be hundreds of necromancy books there and a tonne of necromancers.  I have no idea what happened there otherwise though.

You don't necessarily start off as hostile to the Tower's faction; so the necromancers won't attack immediately, but the zombies will, due to their opposition to life.  If you lure all the zombies outside without attacking any of them, you can sneak back in for the book/slab.  After that, you can walk around as you please, and even recruit the necromancers into your party.

Funny, because everytime i open the tower doors the necromancers give the "Prepare to die" message and attack me.

Do you mind explaining?
