Ziggur

The kingdom of Ziggur is a small nation state with a capital city of Kuru atop the Ru mountain. The kingdom is infamously demonic thanks to its current ruler King Felltow.
== Geography ==
The area is mostly barren rock and dirt wastes crisscrossed by dense river systems, mountains and rare fertile plains in between. All over the place ruins appear and disappear somewhat randomly, most often entire floors of the tower will appear in certain areas, cursed with eternal midnight. These ruins are inhabited with Felltow's bound demons who will raid the nearby residents for slaves. The demons and slaves will then feverishly build a new floor above their own, which will then also disappear and reappear somewhere in the kingdom randomly. Wherever these ruins appear, souls will be attracted to it, which are also collected by Felltows minions, particularly his wizards in search of penance. 
With the exception of Kuru, most settlements are alongside riverbanks where the soil is fertile.
Its capital Kuru encompasses the ruins of the tower and the former capital city, although it is mostly empty as is the mountain it is built into.
Ziggur attracts souls, but why and how is a mystery, Felltow isn't complaining though.
== History ==
King Felltow ascended to the peak of the Ru mountain and began building a tower atop it. To build the tower atop the mountain he conquered the neighboring kingdoms and sieged many cities, taking slaves back to the city.
The construction of the city was so massive that it took more and more raiding to feed its need for workers, eventually the king began binding demons to him as laborers. the city became too massive for the mountain to hold and it partially collapsed into a hollow underneath it. This didn't deter Felltows ambitions. 
Eventually slave rebellions too massive to contain began, the king used his demons to quell them, in exchange for less work. Eventually, the tower was sundered, crushing the castle at the roots of the mountain. The kingdom was deserted, only the bonded demons remained at the king's side. The kingdom of Ziggur became a demonic kingdom, known abroad as the kingdom in ruins. 
Felltow is still the king of the area, and despite still resembling a classical elf has many characteristics of demons.
