Hellspass

Once a simple city home to only a few thousand souls, Hellspass was the seat of power in the Gorzytska volozk, ruled by the Great Princess Regna Gravnoy. The city was devastated by infernal predation when Gravnoy revealed her true allegiances to the dark powers. The Gravnoy family was subsequently stripped of its land and titles, and control over the volozk has passed into military hands, overseen from outside its borders by appointees within the city of Skirov until such time as the empress appoints a new ruler.

The city is still recovering from both the Claiming and Gravnoy’s treachery. Those who still live in Hellspass do so primarily to work the area’s many mines, which the empire relies on for metals crucial to its military efforts. Prior to the Claiming, work had begun on a rail line to connect Hellspass to Skirov and, subsequently, the rest of the empire, but work on laying new track has been slow thus far.

Because they are situated far from the capital, the people of Hellspass have come to rely heavily on the Rhulfolk mercenaries who were already working in the region, and close bonds have formed between the local Khadorans and the Rhulfolk who share their borders. The Khadoran who dwell here are content to leave the old city to its ghosts, but the remaining Ogrun of Hellspass still have concerns.
