enslaved natives opened up a huge quarry in the center of the island to get the rocks for the foundations of the Citadel. Therefore the Dwarf built in the western part of the island a receptor array, called "Enchanted Megaliths" by the natives, that collected the evil energies permeating Hellbound and channeled them to the Steel Citadel for further use.Īs anybody can imagine, the construction of such an impressive fortress required an enormous amount of materials.

A huge structure like the Steel Citadel, even if it is rather dimly lighted, requires an enormous amount of energy just for its regular day to day operation, and in addition to that there was the machinery in Tully's workshop. This workshop is at present guarded by Beleth's general Darion, a deadly fighter clad in heavy armor and wielding a large sword as well as a heavy shield he likes to slam into those challenging him. For his own needs and pleasure Tully built a huge workshop of eight floors.

The Dwarf Tully, Beleth's long-time assistant and a genius when it came to engineering tasks, built for the "Devil" in the eastern half of the island the Steel Citadel, a massive castle secured by outer fortifications and consisting of three mighty towers: the Base Tower, the Tower of Infinitum and the Tower of Naia, where Beleth himself resides. Suddenly the natives found themselves no longer masters of their own land.

Once he was firmly established on the island, Beleth summoned more of his followers to him. Bereft of their spiritual leadership, the local people soon fell for his promises of wealth and power. So he first of all killed Hannibal, a soothsayer and seer who was, via her third eye, able to communicate directly with the gods and enjoyed a very high respect among the natives. Although the whole island is permeated with an evil force - which is why Beleth was attracted to it in the first place - it had an autochthonous population with quite a high level of culture and civilisation.

His problem was that this place was not empty. After Beleth had, presumably with some help from his followers, escaped from the dungeon under the Ivory Tower, he made his way to what is now known as "Hellbound Island".
