Balgashang

What is Balgashang?
Aperagris (Master of the High Discipline) According to Hârnic lore, Balgashang is a great flame-shrouded fortress, wherein dwells Agrik, the god of war and fire. It is also inhabited by Agrik's attendant bat-winged, cloven-hooved, fire-enshrouded, hook-clawed, demonic servants called V'hir. Somewhere within the castle is Ak-Syt, the dreaded chamber of tortures, where it is said that unspeakable demons practice the "ten thousand ways" (of inflicting pain) on the hapless, unlamented dead.

Balgashang's location is uncertain and it may actually exist in several places or worlds at once. Many believe it to be at the fiery heart of the planet Kethira, but the majority of Agrikan priests hold that it is located somewhere on Yashain, the god world.
