1) The buried army of thosands of golems and golem horses surely
is a reference to the Terracotta Army:

2) p. 296 of the US edition:

There was a saying: "Old necromancers never die." When he
told them this, people would say "... and?" and Hicks would have
to reply, "That's all of it, I'm afraid. Just 'Old necromancers
never die.'"
</quote>

A reference to the old army saying, "Old soldiers never die, they
just fade away." The saying, incidently, long predates
MacArthur's use of it in his 1951 speech.

They have been more clearly referenced in IT including the whole burial
complex.

As a UKian I have always thought that it was a reference to the 'Chelsea
Pensioners' who do just that. Especially as the ranks of Old Soldiers is
always replenished so they don't die (corporately that is).

FWIW, I would have said it was " ... they *only* fade away". I
wouldn't have particularly associated it with the Chelsea Pensioners.

http://www.bartelby.org/59/3/oldsoldiersn.html gives a predating from
MacArthur.

Anyone who thinks that old soldiers fade away ought to try on their
old uniform.

However, as the link relates to the Great War and for quite a chunk of
my life Chelsea Pentioners were probably soldiers of that time, maybe
that is where I have got the link from.

Not really relevant, as such, just amusing, I think. When I was in the
army we heard the phrase:
"Sergeants don't die, they just go to Hell and regroup."

There used to be dozens of them, of varying degress of ribaldness; at one
time they were popular as pub notices and bumper stickers.

One I remember was: old golfers never die; they just can't carry their
balls.

'Twas on the 27 Oct 2007, that "Keith Edgerley"
<edger...@wandoo.fr> did say:

ISTR either the science block at college or the physics
building at university having the sign: Old nuclear physicists
never die, they just decay exponentially.

This is rapidly heading [C]wards, isn't it? Sorry.
