Helgrind is a huge black tower, created from a mountain near the city of Dras-Leona. It is the lair of the horrid Ra'zac. It is virtually impossible to reach Helgrind by any way but air travel, due to its extreme height.
Helgrind, which means "Gates of Death" in the Ancient Language, has a dark, malevolent air about it that attracts a kind of morbid fascination among people; it was this aura that brought about Dras-Leona's founding. The eventual result was a religion based on the Helgrind's worship, in which it is common for priests to cut off their own body parts in an attempt to separate themselves from the physical world, and wherein amputation is a common form of punishment. The Cathedral at Dras-Leona was built in the likeness of Helgrind.
