Bloodyard

The Bloodyard is an ancient structure of pre-Aversarian design seemingly designed exclusively for the torture and executions of both humans and animals. While even Aversarians see it as a place of cruelty and pain, it nonetheless saw consistent use by Aversarian magi until the 4th century.

Its great blood-gathering chambers were eventually abandoned, and it was largely left to ruin. That was until the Aversarian Civil War between Aeschraes and Axiaothea, where the facilities were rediscovered and then reactivated by Aeschraes. It is from here that Aeschraes gathered the power to cast Frodbrokna, sacrificing thousands of slaves, servants, and even his own soldiers to cast the spell that would end the world.

With the collapse of the Oraispol Aautokrata, the local citizenry along with several rebel military units destroyed the Bloodyard's complexes, and it now stands as little more than a testament to cruelty, a home to untold spirits, and a place of significant magical power.
