I found a necromancer tower, and was going to raid it, but when I walked in and looked for a necromancer, I found 2 in the same room. Since I am a vampire, they didn't attack, and I was able to talk to them. They seemed like normal necromancers but didn't attack each other and didn't leave, and each one had its own room and books they wrote but only one secrets of life and death (that I found.) Overall, there are 3 necromancers (I killed one but no one cared,) is this normal game behavior?

Vampires count as undead. Necromancers are opposed to life, and their non-sentient minions if they had any are also opposed to life.

I know. This post is asking if a tower of multiple necromancers is normal in game and not a glitch.

Are you sure that necromancers are opposed to life, and that they are supposed to be alone in the towers? Because I have encountered multiple towers filled with dozens of non-hostile necromancers in adventure mode.

You know what? Actually you're right. Necromancers as a faction are their own thing. I don't remember the details.
unintelligent undead are just hostile to life, and that's pretty much their whole faction.

I do know that necromancers can take apprentices who also know the secrets of life and death.
How they become a necromancer without dying to the zombie horde in the first place, is never explicitly explained, though.

Yeah, necromancers don't have OPPOSED_TO_LIFE.

The tags they get are: NOEXERT, NO_AGING, NO_EAT, NO_DRINK, NO_SLEEP, NO_PHYS_ATT_GAIN, NO_PHYS_ATT_RUST (according to extracted raws).

I'm pretty sure they just are really angry at non-undead, or something like that.

Yeah sounds pretty normal. You can find a whole bunch of them in there.

Also they're not hostile if you play an experiment character.

The book thing is also normal. The original Secret is kept as a slab, books with the secret in them is just if the necromancer feels like writing that insead of writing his usual book about his own site.
