Brimstone Hub

Brimstone Hub is a jagged fortress built over a convergence of planar ley lines. Black iron towers pierce the blood red sky while the streets are paved with the calcified remains of failed contractors. It serves as a vital mercantile node for arch-devils and demon lords to trade souls and forbidden artifacts. Here, business is conducted with lethal precision and absolute ruthlessness away from the prying eyes of celestial realms.

History

Originally a celestial watchtower, the site was corrupted during the Great Descent ages ago. It evolved from a bloody battlefield into a neutral trading ground where various demonic factions could profit without constant open warfare. Now it stands as the busiest commerce center in the lower planes, functioning as a gateway for planar invaders and dark merchants alike.

The Fallen AgeThe Siege of LightDemonic hordes overran the solar garrison and claimed the site for the Abyss.

The Iron CenturyThe Pact of ThreeThree rival demon lords agreed to share the hub for profit rather than war.
