Once a thriving metropolis of perfect law and order, the large city
once known as Adamantine Fortress-due to the various walls made of pure
adamantine-was at the perfect balance it needed in terms of economy,
cultural diversity, and society. Then, one day, something horrible
happened-a huge army of gnolls, composing of at least a dozen different
tribes, lead a successful raid against the city by attacking from the
side where the city faced the vast Sandsea, with the pure intention of
slaughter. However, this wasn't enough for the gnolls-they wanted to
allow one of the various demons they worshipped to join in on the
slaughter. While the raid's witches began to chant to summon a demon, so
 too did a summoner by the name of **Telestina Voidheart** tapped into the Outer Planes in order for salvation against the imposing monsters.

Surprisingly, their calls attracted the attention of one demon simultaneously-an oddly lawful succubus by the name of **Echskrua**. As she rose from the city's central area, she pondered on what would be
 a better choice for assistance. Within a matter of seconds, her mind
was made up-by slaughtering the entire gnoll raid, not leaving a single
one alive. While the people were at first confused, their questions were
 answered when the succubus told them of what she wanted in return for
saving their lives-total control of the city. They were reluctant to
agree, but no other choice was made.

Much to the surprise of all, despite being a somewhat wicked
individual, Echskrua proved to be a rather competent leader-although she
 became the true overseer of the city's state, she did allow its
autocracy to continue; now the mayor of the city is also the city's
judge, a cranky but insightful dwarf named **Drookon Goldfist**. However, the dwarf is at a constant string of conflicts with the city's selfish and arrogant captain of the guard, **Ruuchiran Echskura**-who is also the eldest of the hundreds of children Echskrua has sired. As
the succubus views that both are doing a good job at their duties, she
feels as if their squabbling is unnecessary-and nothing irritates her
more than unnecessary drama in her city.

As for Telestina, she received the shock of her life when she was
promoted into Echskrua's very own ambassador-although her job is mainly
to import goods from the city-mainly adamantine-into the succubus's home
 realm (and to her sister, Xerikia) in order to get an army of highly
intelligent dreks-all forming the shock troops and suicide squads of her
 army. Thankfully the half-elf's eidolon, a strict and quiet inevitable
named **Voidshadow** is powerful and menacing enough to keep any
demon at bay. Why Echskrua needs an army is anyone's guest, but there
are those who do not trust the demonic ruler fully; many believe she is
building an army for the purpose of invasion. The one who believes this
the most is an ecstatic and somewhat paranoid tengu by the name of **Irabirra Jujufeather** and her fairie dragon familiar **Rubymoth**; both are certain that Echskrua has dire plans, and is planning to ruin
the reputation of the city. The succubus herself knows of the tengu's
warning cries of despair and bloodshed, but she has done nothing about
it-to her, there are more important things to worry about than the
ramblings of an old and crazy crow.
