To command the forces of war is to rule over the hearts of men, and no one understands this better than Var’Zhul, the Iron Overlord. His domain, Ironspine Fortress, is a place of eternal war, where the clashing of steel and the roar of battle never cease. Var’Zhul is a towering figure clad in black, jagged armor, his form as unyielding as the iron walls of his fortress. Var’Zhul’s armor is adorned with infernal runes, symbols of power that bind his strength to Draethor itself. His face is hidden behind a helmet of black iron, and his eyes glow with a fiery intensity. He carries a massive warhammer, a weapon capable of shattering mountains, and his voice is the booming command of a general leading his army into battle.
Ironspine Fortress
Ironspine Fortress is a vast, sprawling city of black iron and stone, its walls towering over a landscape of jagged mountains and molten rivers. The sky above is dark, and the air is filled with the constant clanging of iron as demonic soldiers march in formation, preparing for the next battle. Souls condemned to Ironspine Fortress are conscripted into Var’Zhul’s armies, forced to fight in his endless campaigns, their bodies reforged time and time again in the fires of war.
Master of War
Var’Zhul’s power is absolute within his domain, and his Iron Legion—an army of armored demons—obey his every command. The souls trapped here are stripped of their identities, reforged into Soulbound Warriors, and sent to the front lines to fight in battles that have no end. Var’Zhul takes no pleasure in their suffering; he cares only for the glory of war, for the eternal struggle that defines his existence.
The Sin of Tyranny
The souls sent to Ironspine Fortress are those who thrived on control, domination, and conquest. These are the souls of tyrants, warlords, and dictators who used their power to oppress others. In Var’Zhul’s domain, they are stripped of their power and forced to fight in battles they can never win, their bodies and minds broken by the very system of control they once enforced.
Ironspine Fortress is a city of black iron and stone, a massive fortress built atop a mountainous landscape. Sharp, jagged spires rise into the smoke-filled sky, and the clanging of iron fills the air as demonic soldiers prepare for war. The ground is scorched, and rivers of molten metal flow through the fortress, feeding the forges where weapons of war are endlessly created. It is a place of eternal conflict, where souls are conscripted into Var’Zhul’s armies, forced to fight in his brutal campaigns.
Inhabitants:
The Iron Legion, Var’Zhul’s personal army of armored demons, patrols the fortress, ensuring that the souls forced into servitude obey his commands. Souls here are often turned into Infernal Warriors, stripped of their identity and forced into battle after battle, their suffering fueling Var’Zhul’s war machine. The constant clang of weapons and cries of pain echo through the fortress halls.
Sins:
Those sent to Ironspine Fortress were once tyrants, warmongers, and those who sought power through oppression and conquest. Their souls are now bound to eternal warfare, stripped of all freedom, fighting in the endless wars they once orchestrated. Their punishment reflects the brutal systems of control they imposed on others.
