Hallowheart is a Free City unlike any other in the Realm of Fire, raised within and around the hollowed peak of a great mountain in Aqshy. It is a place of learning and arcane obsession, ruled by the Whitefire Court, a conclave of wizards who plumb the deepest secrets of magic. Beneath its streets lie ancient prisons and vaults, and the collegiate powers of the Cities of Sigmar burn brightest here.

The city's mages wield the searing lore of aqua ghyranis and elemental flame, drawing power from the volcanic heart of the mountain itself. Such knowledge is not without cost, for the pursuit of forbidden secrets has ever been a dangerous road, and more than one scholar has been consumed by the very forces they sought to master. Whispers speak of things imprisoned beneath the city that would be better left forgotten.

Despite these dangers, Hallowheart remains a jewel of Order, its libraries and spellforges producing arcane weapons and warriors that turn the tide on distant battlefields. Its garrisons march forth wreathed in conjured fire, defiant against the encircling dark. In an age of ruin, knowledge is both salvation and damnation, and Hallowheart walks that razor's edge with every incantation.
