[i][b]⋆Tŷ'r Marwolaeth⋆
The world knows of Hellhounds, it always has. Some famous Hellhounds are considered to be Cerberus, Tiangou, Okuri-inu, the Barghest, Black Shuck, Cŵn Annwn, the list goes on. This is the Kingdom of Hounds, ruled by their King, and this is their story and home.
So what is "Tŷ'r Marwolaeth"? This is the House of Death, the home of all Hellhounds. This is what their "Brenin" made for them. This is where they are safest. But where is the House of Death and how does it work?
Tŷ'r Marwolaeth is found between layers of reality, between life, death, the in-between, and the nothingness. The House of Death can only be accessed by the Hellhounds and their charges or fellow demonic spirits. The House of Death is described as a forest barren and dead to the eye, but once within the forest it becomes a world of colours and life. The forest has no edges, and it's denizens have no end. In the middle-most (or what is believed to be the middle) of the forest, is a great palace made of the trees and every other living green thing in the forest. The palace was sung from the forest by the Brenin, and is maintained by his or her blood annually.
Time works different from the four layers of reality, specifically the most from the living reality. Every year in the living reality is a month in the House of Death. According to this time difference, the length of pregnancies among Hellhounds and other species are required to be spent in the House of Death, or else the bearer lives through however many months their pregnancy calls for that many years. (Say a pregnancy length in Hellhounds is 12 months, it becomes 12 years in the living reality.) The demonic spirits and all that live within House of Death are granted long lives, but are not immortal and can still be killed by mortal means.
The Brenin may be challenged for his or her position, but the battle must be either forfeited, or decided by the death of one of the participants, and the title of Brenin is given to the victor. Not many challenges are taken upon, leaving the current Brenin in control for a long, long time. There is no secondary position, for the very fact that the Brenin is the total controller of the House of Death and only requires input from advisers and counsellors. The power of the Brenin is quite significant and not handled lightly.
The first Brenin granted a place of safety to demonic spirits, mainly his people, the Hellhounds, and as he did so, granted them a physical body from that of their demon. The Brenin was a human at one time, and knew the longing of the demons for a human form they didn't need to possess and lose often. The denizens of House of Death are allowed to the other layers of reality, but have secret places throughout the layers, but the most frequented reality layer is the reality of the living. Such places as "Tipsy Spire", "600 Heights", and "Brimstone Works" are safe places and places of gates to the House of Death.
