The city of Iz (pronounced IZ) was the first to fall to the demonic forces which poured out of the Worldwound. Once the capital of the barbarian Kingdom of Sarkoris, the city is now the headquarters of the Abyssal forces occupying Golarion. Other demon princes send emissaries to the various "embassies" there in the hopes of advancing their devious causes. When the Worldwound opened in 4606 AR, Iz was located a full-day's ride southwest of the tear in reality. It is believed that within the decade, the city will be swallowed whole by the expanding gate.
