Known as the "City of Greed," Shalast was once a thriving metropolis and the capital of the Imperial District of Fornaven.
This immense city was located on Ikharos, in a high-altitude valley within the Hollow Mountains.
At one time, Shalast was the largest city in the Iskari Empire, and for many years, was ruled by a powerful Runelord known as Karzoug.
Overlooking the city was the icy peak of Mhar Massif; a towering monolith of stone which was the highest point on the entire continent.
Carved into that pinnacle of rock was the face of Karzoug; an enduring testament to his vanity.
Since the cataclysmic events of Skyfall, this once magnificent city has become a frozen wasteland of crumbling stone, infested with demons and other dark creatures.
The Mines Below the City
Underneath the city ruins is the Hypogeum, a vast network of underground passages which were originally mines. These mines were once worked by huge armies of slaves who brought fabulous wealth to the Runelords.
