The origin of the Hellriders go like this (see pg 44): Level 13: All that is left to do is to figure out how to free Elturel - through redeeming or destroying Zariel as she fights a horde of demons while chains pull the city into the River Styx, most likely. Level 12: In the Bleeding Citadel is the Sword of Zariel. Level 11: To get to the Bleeding Citadel, the adventurers must fight their way through The Scab, a crusted-over hell hill full of demons.
