Iron Foothills is a province introduced in Total War: Warhammer III, located in Naggaroth.
Background[]
The black spires of Naggarond rise from the Iron Foothills, the spite-filled heart of Dark Elven power. Its outer walls form an imposing circlet of obsidian, in no place less than a hundred feet tall. About the ramparts are set a hundred towers, each rising as high above the battlements as the walls rise above the bare rock. From these towers fly the Witch King's dark banners of flayed skin. Severed heads and raven-worried limbs rot upon spikes about the walls, grisly reminders of the price of denying Malekith's will.
The city itself is a jumble of mansions, barracks, temples, slave pits, and crooked alleys, all swathed in a perpetual pall of smoke. Through chill day and frozen night, worshippers of Khaine tear beating hearts and tangled entrails from their still-living victims and cast them into the flame pits to their hungry god. Thus is the very air of Naggarond thick with the essence of murder.
At the centre of Naggarond stands the Black Tower. No mere fortress is this, but a city within a city: a maze of palaces, ramparts and towers huddle within its curtain walls and jut from its sheer sides. It is in fact all that remains of the ancient capital of Nagarythe, Anlec. Contained within is the throne room of Aenarion, as well as the throne from which the first Phoenix King ruled.
When he first came to these cold, rain soaked hills Malekith intended his palace to be every bit as gilded and splendid as anything in Ulthuan, but over time he lost the taste for such frippery. The lower chambers, which once glittered with light and rang to the wild laughter of courtiers and companions, are now desolate and web-haunted, full of faded tapestries and haunting silence. Only in the upper reaches are the glories of yesteryear maintained - patrolled by the Black Guard, Malekith's personal elite bodyguard.
