Yug'Voril

Where the dwarves of Kraghammer whisper fearful words of the duergar, so too do the duergar whisper of Yug'Voril. Beyond the ash-dwarves' fiery kingdom, ever deeper into the heart of Exandria, there is a miles-wide grotto coated in glowing crystal. A lake fills the grotto, its surface so smooth and placid it seems like a jade mirror, perfectly reflecting the light of the crystals around it. In the middle of the lake is an island, atop which loom the grand, austere towers of Yug'Voril.
The clean lines and beautiful façade of the city belie its current abominable denizens.
Thousands of years old, the builders and previous denizens have long vanished, leaving the unspoiled ruins to become home to a host of psychic, mind-eating creatures from a plane beyond the boundaries of reality. The tyrannical society of the Flayers flourishes here, far from their cosmic pursuers, giving them the freedom to build a legion of thralls: mind-slaves whose delicious brains the Flayers allow to remain in their bodies...until those bodies fall apart from toil.
Yug'Voril and its inhabitants recently fell under the control of the extraplanar aberration called K'Varn, before he was slayed by Vox Machina. Now that the mind flayers have been freed from K'Varn's tyranny, they have reclaimed Yug'Voril as their own and continue to work on their strange and terrible plots.
