her father’s seemingly endless political ties. The only<br />

female among the Great Princes, she has chosen no<br />

husband to produce an heir. Regna openly admires<br />

the strength of the city’s non-human inhabitants and<br />

she keeps several trusted ogrun servants.<br />

Grokan (male Ogrun Clr11): A massive example of<br />

his species, Grokan is a stout and traditional shaman<br />

of Dhunia, charged by his people as warden over<br />

the entrance to the burial grounds. For nearly seven<br />

decades he has stood guard over the secret opening<br />

at the base of the ogrun fortress using his powerful<br />

magic and powerful followers to dissuade would-be<br />

grave robbers. He recently fell ill with an unknown<br />

ailment but claims the source is nothing less than the<br />

awakening of the Devourer Wurm itself.<br />

Locales of Hellspass<br />

Burial Catacombs: Hellspass stands atop a grid of<br />

sturdy bedrock tunnels that twist and turn under the<br />

city itself. They are large enough in diameter to hold<br />

two adult ogrun shoulder to shoulder with a dwarf’s<br />

worth of room to spare. Countless ogrun remains—<br />

Khardov<br />

noble and commoner alike—are buried in the bowels<br />

of the catacombs along with the riches they took with<br />

them. Only ogrun and those proven dedicated to the<br />

worship of Dhunia are allowed access to its secret<br />

entrances, but no security is perfect. Of course, word<br />

of what the ogrun would do to intruders if caught does<br />

an adequate enough job of keeping most would-be<br />

rummagers away.<br />

Ogrun Fortress: A unique fastness, this massive<br />

hold was carved out of the mountainside itself in<br />

ancient days for the use of the most powerful ogrun<br />

tribe of the region. It has fifteen-foot doorways and<br />

vaulted ceilings, battlements designed for tall frames,<br />

and floors and benchwork thick enough to hold a<br />

hefty ogrun body. It now stands vacant save for a few<br />

brave ogrun who police its vast halls. The fortress is<br />

open only to members of their race officially, but<br />

occasionally exiles and wanted persons have been<br />

known to pay bribes to the ogrun for a safe hiding<br />

place.<br />
