Hellgate Dell

Hellgate Dell

Ascalhorn was established atop Ascal's Horn in the northeastern corner of the High Forest to defend Eaerlann's frontier. After the fall of Netheril, the Eaerlanni conceded the stronghold to Netherese refugees, a decision which proved costly centuries later. A Netherese wizard named Wulgreth began summoning devils to the city in 820 DR to win an advantage over his rivals. In desperation, other wizards heeded the whispers of fey'ri agents and began summoning demons in 880 DR. In the Year of the Curse (822 DR), the summoned demons wiped out the summoned devils and then seized the city. Shortly thereafter, the demonic horde swept down Delimbiyr Vale and Overran both Earlann and Ammarindar.

Highways from Hellgate

Centuries ago, the demons under Hellgate Keep dug an extensive network of tunnels under the lands srrounding the High Forest. A few of these passages connect with the Fardrimm, and others, reached as far as the neather Mountains and Northpeak.


The Plunder of Hellgate Keep

The demons that poured forth from Hellgate Keep five hundred years ago returned from their rampage laden with spoils from Eaerlann, Delzoun, and Ammarindar. Mmany priceless heirlooms and unique treasures vanished into the dark pit of Hellgate Keep to become playthings for the fiends. The Harpers compiled lists of wonderous items that they knew had been lost to Hellgate Keep.
