Hellgate Dell
Ruin in The High Forest, The Silver Marches
Hellgate Dell is the site of Hellgate Keep, a fallen city in the High Forest that was held for centuries by demons before it was destroyed.
Blackened stones lie scattered in a silent dell where nothing grows quite right, and the trees of the forest seem to lean away from it.

Overview
The dell lies inside the High Forest, with the Nether Mountains to the north-east. Here once stood Ascalhorn, a city that fell when its defenders summoned demons who turned on them. The city became Hellgate Keep, a stronghold of fiends.
Hellgate Keep was eventually destroyed, but the site is still feared. Its ruins and the tunnels beneath may still hold demonic relics and worse.
