Blackflame City

Blackflame City, the imperial capital of the Blackflame Empire, first appears in the series as the towering seat of imperial power in Underlord, where the Blackflame Palace looms over the urban sprawl. By Uncrowned, the city becomes a focal point for the empire’s political and martial ambitions, hosting the Uncrowned King Tournament and serving as the stage for the empire’s desperate bid for survival against the dreadgods. Across these books, the city transforms from a distant symbol of authority into a living crucible where the fate of the empire—and the future of its champions—is forged.
