"She woke up to two people holding on to her, walking towards a long, dimly lit hallway. They had spared her. Her hands had were chained together, and her sword was, once again, taken from her. The hallway went over into a dark, cave-like tunnel. What she saw at the end of it amazed her."
- The story of Astrid d'Arcy
Underneath the city of
Strutholm lay the caverns of another kingdom. Unbeknownst to most men, these halls house a king, driven to madness by his confinement:
Kronkus. The Halls of Kronkus had been designed by the Goddess
Audra , as a prison for the
Empyrean for his role in
The Fulgurite War. Though, as the world evolved around him, he began applying his own changes to his surroundings.
His most notable addition was the colosseum, which is also the only human entrance to his kingdom. The colosseum is a gigantic building situated at the edge of
Strutholm, which bears home to
The Fighting Pits. A long hallway connects the dungeons of the colosseum to the caverns. This hallway is only to be entered by
Kronkus's followers and the prisoners they bring their king.
