Overview
Of all Lord Helmawr’s many prisons, few are as unpleasant as Hive Zalktraa. The prison rises from the Poison Sea, beyond the western edge of the Irradium Oceanus, its rust-streaked spires pierce the low, toxic clouds. It is here the Master of Necromunda disposes of those he either will not or cannot kill, but wishes to seal away from the rest of the world. Notorious warptainted villains, off-world dignitaries who have crossed Gerontius or nobles whose birthright spares their lives but not their freedom, have all been sentenced to the remote prison. The worst of the worst, those whose very presence imperils Necromunda are condemned to the deepest cells. Only a small proportion of Zalktraa is visible above the surface of the Poison Sea. The vastness of the hive extends down hundreds of metres to the seabed, the lowest levels buried in the muck and refuse of ten thousand years of industrial runoff. Escape from these sunken levels is considered impossible.[1]
