Darkridge is is the only major city where Necromancy has not yet been outlawed.  It is the capital of the Darklands, in northern Harkania, situated on the shores of Ebon Lake and fringed to the East and West by the imposing Witherbane foothills, leading up to the twin jagged peaks, Mount Wither and Mount Bane. The city is shrouded in a layer of perpetual blight which vents up from the ground, the product of subterranean tar pits, thaumically charged.

The Iron Council resides here.

The city is divided into two sections, nicknamed Liveside and Deadside. Deadside is a quiet labyrinth of civic monuments: the Sepulchre of the Mask, Felchoir Cathedral, the Councillatory Necropolis, the Academy of Ash.

History

Darkridge, due to its then-exposed tar pits and surrounding blight had always been a shunned place. The Dwarves called it Magnar Vhaz, meaning literally, the "darkened ridge." In the early 24th century BA it served as a refuge for undead fleeing the tyranny of the Gray Council in Kislev. The place was named Voskiev and was lorded ove the Necrosavant, Aleksandr "Sasha" Potempkin.
