Redoing the Infernius Castle map because looking at it made me cringe. This is kind of a WIP, but obviously the largest tower is Eight Tower. The others are the 1-7th Towers and the others are the defensive towers that overlook the brass curtain (aka the wall-barracks).

Though nominally Khornate, with things like Forge-Lairs, Temples to the Blood God, Battle Arenas (The Largest of which is in front of Eight Tower itself), Kennels, and Foundries the other gods also have presences here. One tower is named for the Arch-Tempter, though he is seldom there and other high ranking Slaaneshi rule in his stead. Daemonettes and other Darklings cluster around this tower and it is the epicenter of debauchery: brothels, circuses, liveries, galleries and many more diversions can be found here.

Tzeentch and especially Nurgle have the least among of sway here, with the latter in particular finding more sway with Khazaan at DeathAxe's Monolith and the former at the Brass Glacier, where Kha'xanzyr rules.

Average day in Infernius

EDIT: Updated that Infernius file I posted this morning. The game has no official, unique map of the settlement so I just took it upon myself. There are several versions, with the topmost files being more story friendly and the bottom most ones being more "meta" friendly. Skull image borrow from Wikipedia. Yes, the city has a massive God-Bear skull propped up by the Eight Tower, which is where Skarbrand resides :3c

I'm pretty proud of how this came out, tbh, considering it's the first time I've done something like this.

THE CAVERN OF SKULLS

The Cavern of Skulls is located outside of the bounds of the fortress. Rather, it is underneath the Volcano itself and serves as a collection point for the Reaper’s many trophies. Recently destroyed by the eruption of the Volcano, with the Cavern itself ravaged by battle and lava, the area still holds territorial, if not sentimental, value to the Wrathful Reaper. Largely eschewing his official chamber, Skarbrand prefers the vastness of his skull hoard. Few daemons are tolerated here and to be allowed in indicates much regard and trust indeed from the Reaper.

Decided to blow the dust off of my Inkarnate account and put together a map of the Cavern of Skulls (with Skar for scale/idea of size). Those darker spits on the map are meant to pits from which skulls are buried. And once they're filled? Well, the Cavern is dug out and then more holes are dug, to be filled.

Fun! (If you're a Khornate)

The Eight Tower - Zenith.

I'd say this is a concept, but I like it. The Throne room (Brass Throne) is where Skarbrand receives his highest ranked daemons and the important messengers of other daemons. It is also where strategies are discussed. Khornate daemons can actually be summoned from pools of blood by ritual; we see Ka'bandha do it in the End Times. I imagine these Blood Pools are situated all over Infernius.

Skarbrand's personal chambers are rather small, reflecting the austere nature of the Khornate Daemons. There's a bed/den, a few particularly choice skulls, he's probably got a lava pool in there for hygienic reasons, maybe a larder/abattoir (though fresh blood is always preferred), another throne (Skull Throne),.

If @alphabitchnkari has a portal to Skarb's lair, I imagine it's either in the Central Chamber or directly in Skarbrand's personal chamber (wouldn't be shocked at all). It would be hilariously out of place among everything else.

The Warp Chamber leads to the warp, being a tear in the fabric of reality. It can be accessed both ways, but very few daemons are intruding into the home of the Reaper.

The Balcony/Runway is another entrance to the Eighth tower, though since Skarbrand can't fly anymore, he mostly uses it to receive chaos fury messengers and stare balefully over the edge reminiscing on when he could fly. It has a pretty nice view of the Volcano Infernius among other things. Skarbrand is rarely here for reasons you can imagine. Sometimes covered in ice or even snow.

Armory and Forge are self explanatory.

Misc is probably a mishmash of things. Prisons, Khysk probably has a chamber in there, maybe some personal Bloodreapers (eight of them naturally) live there, idk lol
