The party faces Cletienne in the Necrohol.
The Necrohol of Mullonde (死都ミュロンド, Shito Myurondo?, lit. Dead City of Mullonde), also known as Murond Death City, is a location from Final Fantasy Tactics. It is the location of the Airship Graveyard, where Saint Ajora Glabados was buried and is where the Lucavi demon Ultima can be resurrected. At one point, Loffrey Wodring calls it 'Hell'.
The location dot of Necrohol of Mullonde is never explicitly stated within the game nor shown on the map, but it is located within the game's data. The dot on the game's map is directly located in the middle of the sea above Midlight's Deep and below Lake Poescas. There is no road leading to the dot, and the dot cannot be accessed under normal circumstances.
History[]
Folmarv Tengille, a Knights Templar in the service of the Church of Glabados, has long been possessed by Ultima's second-in-command, Hashmal. After gathering the things he needs to perform the resurrection—Alma Beoulve for use as a host body, the Virgo Stone associated with Ultima, and the Scriptures of Germonique, which tell Folmarv how to pass through the portal leading between Orbonne Monastery and the Necrohol—Folmarv traveled to Orbonne with fellow knights Loffrey Wodring and Cletienne Duroi.
A dying Loffrey welcomes Ramza to the necrohol.
Loffrey opened the portal to allow Folmarv and Cletienne to pass through, but Alma's brother Ramza is in hot pursuit. Ramza defeated Loffrey at the portal, and Loffrey opened it, drawing them into the necrohol, where Loffrey sealed the portal from the inside nu destroying the magick glyph. Ramza marveled at the ancient underground ruins, having been in the belief that Mullonde sank into the sea during the Cataclysm. Ramza pressed onward, defeating Cletienne outside the building where he emerged from the portal.
Folmarv made his way to the Airship Graveyard and attempted to perform the resurrection ceremony to no avail, as not enough bloodshed had occurred since Ajora's death. Ramza defeated Barich Fendsor, a machinist who had previously been killed by Ramza, but returned demon-possessed. He caught up to Folmarv, who attempted to sacrifice Ramza to Ultima. He transformed into Hashmal and unleashed his fury, but Ramza wounded him, breaking the spell on Alma that was keeping her asleep.
Furious, Hashmal took his own life as a sacrifice to Ultima, and Alma was possessed by Ajora. Alma's soul resisted, and she broke free, separating physically from Ajora, who in response transformed into Ultima and attacked. Ramza and Alma defeated Ultima, who, after drawing power from her Ultima Demon servants to transform into a skeletal monstrosity, made a second attempt to gather more power. This resulted in a massive explosion that destroyed the Airship Graveyard.
In The Ivalice Chronicles, it is revealed that Ramza and Alma survived the explosion by using the auracites Ramza had collected to teleport them back to Ivalice.

Etymology[]
Necro- is a Greek prefix meaning "death". The "-hol" is less apparent, and may be a form of "hollow" as in several place names, rendering it "Dead Hollow". It also may simply be a respelling of "hall". The term has since been reused to refer to any dead (and usually haunted) Ivalician city. The word also sounds like necropole, which is French for "necropolis" that is used as a term for a city of the dead.
