## Key to the Hekéllu Map

1) Lake Hekéllu.

2) Fens.

3) Temple of Karakán, the Lord of War and Master of Heroes. Also contains the shrine for Chegárra, the
Hero King, Swordsman of Glory, Cohort of Karakán.

Durritlámish, the Black Angel of the Putrescent Hand, Cohort of Sárku.

8) The Gray Plains: Usually shortened to just 'the Grays”. This is the slum area of Hekéllu with derelict,
gray stone buildings which serves as the city's unofficial Foreigners Quarter. No Tsolyáni other than
those of the lowest clans would enter this area without an escort. The inhabitants of the Grays are
itinerant foreigners, clanless Tsolyáni, and members of the lowest lineages of the lowest clans. The
inhabitants form small groups for mutual defense and live in squats as there are no clan houses or
hostelries as such. Squabbles between local groups are fierce, and frequent. Law, order, honor, duty,
status, and the myriad of other social customs which normal Tsolyáni consider “noble” or “civilized”
simply do not exist. Justice and status are determined solely by might and fear. This area is also home to
the Whisperer of Secrets. This shadowy figure is said to be responsible for much of the crime that
happens in the area, yet no one has seen the person or even know for sure if he or she exists. Many
strange things happen in the Grays with strange lights and stranger beings roaming the streets after dark.

9) Old Palace: now in semi-ruined condition and inhabited by the lowest of the low squatters.

10) Temple of Hrü'ǘ, the Supreme Principal of Change. Also contains the shrine for Wurú the Unnameable,

Yamáshsha hiKorokól of the Blue Shadow clan of Hekéllu. He is a military priest of the Temple of
Wurú and was 36yrs old in 2354 AS. This legion has performed excellently in battles against Hláka
rebels and Kilalámmuyáni bandits. In 2358 AS it was 9 cohorts strong and adding more so it is a
common sight to see legionnaires in training in and around the city.
