Maladomini's Maw

Maladomini's Maw is a sprawling cityscape carved directly into the sides of a volcanic canyon. Iron bridges span the boiling River of Blood, connecting jagged towers that reach toward a soot-clogged sky. Every stone in the city is inscribed with runes of binding to keep the structure from collapsing into the chaos below. It serves as a primary trade hub for artifacts of suffering and demonic weaponry.

The air is heavy with sulfur and the rhythmic sound of distant hammers.
