Har Ganeth, City of Executioners

Ruler

The ruler of Har Ganeth is the Dark Lord Ruerl, also known as the Butcher. He is the leader of the Har Ganeth Executioners and a cruel, sadistic man.

Symbol

The symbol of Har Ganeth is a double bladed axe.

Sprawling Metropolis

Har Ganeth is an extremely large city, with a population that is almost as large as Naggarond. Of all the Dark Elf cities, Har Ganeth has the most developed economy. It almost has a complete monopoly over the slave and iron trades. The nobility of Har Ganeth is extremely wealthy as are the countless merchant princes that reside here.

The Dread Executioners

Har Ganeth is known as the City of Executioners and it is here that the most feared warriors in all of Naggaroth reside. Their official role is that of warden, to protect the Temple of Khaine from all invaders. In fact the Executioners rule the city almost completely, taking out their wrath on commoner and nobleman alike.

The Executioners have a horrible reputation, gained during a failed High Elf raid many centuries ago. The High Elves thought Har Ganeth an easy target and so invaded it. Almost none of them survived the raid. Many thousands were taken captive and slain in the worst massacre ever record in the history of any race. The streets became red rivers, as Dark Elves splashed joyfully in the blood of their hated foes. The Executioners used their cruel axes to maim, cut and behead the captives, celebrating an orgy of depravity.

The streets are still stained red to this day. No High Elf army will invade Har Ganeth ever again, their fear of that place is so strong.

The Crimson Palace, Temple of Khaine

The most noticeable feature in Har Ganeth is the great Temple of Khaine. It gets its name from the deep red stains that cover every part of the temple. It was this temple that was the sight of the bloodiest event in all of history, the massacre of Har Ganeth.

The temple is ruled by Vandess, the most powerful Hag Queen of Har Ganeth. She led the Witch Elves during the slaughter, gorging herself on the blood and flesh of hundreds of High Elves. Vandess admires Ruerl’s depravity and has supported his rule since Har Ganeth was established many years ago. They even have a son together, the great Captain of the Executioners, Tullaris.

City Layout

The centre of the city is dominated by two structures: the hideous Temple of Khaine and the palace of the Dark Lord Ruerl. Those two structures are where all of the power in Har Ganeth resides.

The docks are located in the southern portion of the city. This area of the city is bustling with trade. Slaves are penned in huge cages, waiting to be sent to the far corners of Naggaroth and their dooms. Iron and rocks from Hag Graef are stationed aboard sleek Reavers. The merchant princes of Har Ganeth grow richer every day, as slaves and iron for weapons are the cornerstone of the Dark Elf economy.

Army

The army of Har Ganeth is huge and powerful. A legion of dreaded Executioners await any chance at war, their sharp axes ready to maim and kill. Thousands of Witch Elves from the Crimson Palace are ready to kill. The Warriors of the City of Executioners are many. Almost any type of troop is available and ready for war.
