About twelve years ago, the small town of **Ereheart** was a decetn place to live. Sitting calmly away from other nations and their troubles in the southern **Swamps of Calomel**, the town did well, servicing the many peoples and travelers that
traveled the may river ways. They even made some peace with the local
Kobold populations. It wasn't until a string of disappearances and
eventual shut down of communications that suddenly paved way for what
was to come.

The Kisajix clan of Drow, lead by their stern and sadistic Matriarch, was enthralled into a prophecy that would usher them in to great power.
 Already ousted by most other Drow civilizations, this was their get
rich card. Using the small town as a jumping point, they slowly took
over and enslaved the populace. With a bizarre ritual performed by the
Drow priestesses, gifted by the Matriarch, they managed to summon demon
after demon into the town. It was in their belief that such would grant
them power to conquer and revenge against all whom trifled with them.

Immediately they began to build their armies of demons and create a
city fortress, from which they attacked the neighboring civilizations.
It was only through combined effort that they were stopped any further
then than fifty miles outside their holdout. These combined efforts lead
 by local chapters of religious orders and volunteer armies fight
tirelessly even today to hold back the invading hordes. These groups
range from the most varied of good faiths, to mercenary groups such as the **Ungrounded of the Sword**, and knightly orders such as **The Blue Sky Roses** from the far away **Darwish Empire**.

The city itself has in somewhat of a way prospered, with demons and
their ilk enslaving and lording over their small holding. It near Hell
on Earth, with the introduction of reports of devils in recent years.
Any mortal races are left as food and playthings for the many evil
inhabitants, including some Drow whom have tried to escape the control
of the Kisajix clan. The Drow themselves seem to be weary of it all, as
they have come realize their say means nothing in this demonic society.
Matriarch Irralith herself has become nothing more than the plaything of
 the Balor Lord Syox.

Unknown to most if not all in the city is that their is a spy among them. A lone Succubus has forsaken her past deeds and doings for a
chance to redeem herself of her evils. Working with several orders of
Paladins, she tirelessly works to finding weaknesses in the demonic army
 and relaying that information through the slaves of the city. She hopes
 that such information would do a great justice for the world and save
her soul.
