Hezvix

Built in the Demon Spawn War (89 GE - 269 GE), Hezvix was designed by Demogorgon's top builder, a Marilith engineer named Skinaere. Serving as a major supply depot, it supported Demogorgon's push into sectors Zyrath and Sava'loth.

A master at building layered defenses, Skinaere designed Hezvix with supporting walls and towers, close enough that if one falls, they come under fire from the next higher wall. In addition to her skills in civil engineering, Skinaere was known as a consummate torturer. Whenever she built something, she made sure it had a dungeon. In the war with the Covenant, Hezvix's prison saw so much torture and agony that today it is sealed off for the psychic trauma it causes; probably worse, it is also the lair of ancient wracked spirits, groaning spirits and ghosts of terrible power. It is such a dangerous place, that every year Krumisbar sends a team up to inspect the prison's wards. No friend of the Umahanbad Oligarchy, owner of Hezvix, the holy advisors and their contractors put aside their differences when it comes to securing Skinaeres Sanctum.

After the demons were driven back to their abyssal worlds, Hezvix was left to the wilds. Massive in size, once holding a garrison of 40,000, it became the home of beasts, monsters, and bands of gnolls, hobgoblins and giants. More than each other, these residents feared what might come up from Skinaeres Sanctum.

In 901, the Bloodbeards were exiled to this ruin. Former citizens of Phlehorn, deemed to dangerous to the crown, they were left in this ruin with nothing but their loincloths and villainous intent.
