A large city state of approximately 40,000 inhabitants, Groshk lies on the northwest coast of Nurdug. The city seems to brim with chaos and what local guards refer to simply as “mischief,” but the businesses are nonetheless prosperous, particularly those that pay appropriate homage to the city’s leader. Many adventurers and travelers visit Groshk, particularly the Infernal Library for its collection of knowledge, but few outsiders stay long. The city is heavily Tiefling-populated, but other civilized races also call the city home, with dwarves being most numerous. Nemeia Eldervine is from Groshk.
Groshk is ruled by a cruel warlock tyrant named Loskor Vrask, who is aided by devil minions, including his personal bodyguard of bearded devils. Though the city has no standing army to speak of, its citizens can all be conscripted in times of emergency (though this is not common knowledge).
