Commorragh

Commorragh is the Dark City, a sprawling, shadow-drowned metropolis that exists not upon any world but threaded through the twisting tunnels of the webway, the ancient dimensional labyrinth that runs between the stars. Beyond the reach of the Imperium, hidden from the gods and empires of the galaxy alike, it is a place of impossible spires, floating fortresses, and boundless cruelty, a hidden realm where the worst appetites of a dying race are given free rein.

Here dwell the Drukhari, the Dark Eldar, those Aeldari who fled into the webway's depths to escape the doom that consumed their kind, and who now sustain their unnatural immortality by feeding upon the suffering of others. Every soul in Commorragh slowly withers unless replenished with fresh anguish, and so the entire city is built around the infliction of pain, its arenas, torture-gardens, and flesh-markets serving an economy of agony.

Ruled by scheming Archons, twisted Haemonculi, and the deadly cults of warriors and gladiators, Commorragh is a nest of endless intrigue where power is seized through treachery and held through terror. From its hidden portals raiding parties sally forth into realspace, falling upon unsuspecting worlds to slaughter and enslave, then vanishing back into the webway before any relief can arrive.

The full and terrible chronicle of this place is preserved in the annals of Commorragh, a history written in the misery of a million captured souls. No sun ever rises over the Dark City, no mercy is ever shown within its walls, and no captive dragged into its depths can hope for anything but an eternity of torment. It is perhaps the single most malevolent place in the galaxy, a cathedral of cruelty where an ancient people cling to life by devouring the pain of everyone else.
