Military personnel make up a large proportion of the population, and many of the businesses cater to the soldiers. Temples in the city honor several different Khemitian gods of protection or war, plus Mithras, the soldiers’ god of the Hyperboreans. Southwest of the city is an extensive necropolis that includes the burial sites of many high-ranking officers.
The Necropolis of Terenouti southwest of Naqt has been in use since about the 19th Dynasty. Many important military leaders are buried in the vaulted tombs here and some common soldiers as well, especially those of the Hyperborean Empire. During the time of its influence over Khemit, this was the official military cemetery for those who wanted to be buried in the place of their service. A temple to the goddess Solanus overlooks the Hyperborean section. Smaller temples to Isis, Tuart, and Bes are also found in the necropolis.
