Skirov

The city of Skirov is a growing power in northeast Khador. It is famous—or infamous—as the home of Khador’s largest labor prison, the Skirov Khardstadt. After the Winter Queen’s betrayal, control of the neighboring Gorzytska volozk was passed to military leaders in Skirov, although some whisper that the bratya gangs actually control the region and that they, in turn, answer to Great Prince Neplakh Vanar, the “Iron Prince,” who rules from Porsk to the south. With Great Prince Igor Noveskyev dead these past three years and the volozk of Noveskyev paralyzed by internecine squabbles among the counts and Noveskyev’s many heirs, there are even rumors that the Iron Prince has designs on claiming his northern neighbor’s territory as his own.

As the northernmost point on Khador’s extensive rail line, the City of Chains has recently begun laying track toward the east as part of a plan to eventually reach the mines around Hellspass and the Rhulic borders beyond. This work, along with the mines that already stretch into the foothills of the Thundercliff Peaks near Skirov, makes this otherwise cold and unwelcoming city a haven for non-citizen workers, including hardy Trollkin and a large enclave of Rhulfolk.
