The Bloodkeep
Brennan introduces the Bloodkeep, also called Athagduar, as a vast obsidian fortress rising past the Scary Volcano in the land of Gorgar BK E1·00:00:52. Atop its highest spire is the flaming maw of Zaul'Nazh, Lord of Shadows BK E1·00:00:52. The story begins inside the fortress BK E1·00:00:52.
The Bloodkeep, also called Athagduar, is the obsidian fortress of Zaul'Nazh in Gorgar, and its foundations creak after he is destroyed BK E1·00:00:52 BK E1·01:31:45. Its parts include the Market of Spines, the aerie, the throne room, the council, the central spire, the library and the central plaza where armies march BK E3·01:17:22 BK E3·01:40:49 BK E3·01:45:59 BK E3·01:51:58. Lilith says it is crumbling BK E3·00:36:10.
While the heroes fight above it, chaos spreads inside it as goblins, trolls and orcs loot BK E4·01:24:08 BK E5·01:14:41. Its root lies at the centre of the tomb chamber beneath it BK E5·01:47:45. In the final battle the earth opens up to swallow it BK E6·00:35:31. At the end it stands damaged and in ruins but still there, and repairing the chamber takes much work because there is no floor BK E6·02:43:14.
