Ash-Korrath
A city of secrets and sovereignty, veiled in stone and shadow beneath a living volcano. Tieflings have forged an empire beneath the earth, their streets lit by glowing magma veins and soulglass lanterns. Every citizen is bound by the Ashen Creed, and every secret is sealed in stone. Accessible only by a single fortified tunnel.
Leadership
High Sovereign Velcryn Dreadmark — Clad in obsidian armor, Velcryn rarely speaks aloud, instead letting fire-glyphs bloom in the air to issue decrees. Archpactress Neralza Chainborn — Blindfolded tiefling whose mastery of soul-thread contracts binds devils to silence and nobles to obedience.
