There was a saying throughout the Underworld.
"If Lust ruled hearts, Greed ruled everything else."
Gildreach Vault was less a city and more the economic heart of Hell. Every empire, every kingdom, every mercenary company, every noble family, and every prince eventually found themselves doing business within its walls. Coin did not merely circulate here. It governed life itself.
The city stretched across an endless valley of black stone where towering skyscrapers of polished gold, silver, and emerald crystal pierced the crimson sky. Rivers of molten gold flowed through carefully carved canals, illuminating entire districts with a warm metallic glow. Massive bridges forged from platinum connected districts suspended high above the streets, allowing nobles to travel without ever touching the crowded markets below.
This was the place demons spent centuries saving gold to visit with their families.
Many called it the Heaven of the Underworld.
