History
-10500 DR human clerics, sorcerers and warlocks of Gazrashim from the empire of Korkos made a pact with Helhura, queen of the pits a powerful demon lord from the abyss. The humans of Korkos were "blessed" with the blood of Hulhura in exchange Helhura would receive 25,000 sacrifices per year in a ritual known as the soul river of Ixratar. Hulhura's blessing allowed the empire of Korkos to build the most formidable army seen on Gadriel, which was turned upon the bordering nations. Within 100 years Korkos influence had spread over the entire continent of Eminlora, Chakosa and parts of Drusku.

Most other human nations were eradicated, making the fell touched humans of Korkos the dominant form of humans on Gadriel, other species such as Elves, Dwarves, Halfing Gnomes and so on were subjected as slaves under the new nation of Helkorkos.

After almost a thousand years the tyrant kings and queens of Helkorkos were killed during the uprising of -9549 DR.
