Anvilgard, the City of Scales, was a heavily fortified port city that borders the sweltering jungle of the Charrwind Coast in the Realm of Aqshy also known as the Crucible of Life. The city was located in a strategic location which watch over both the Golvarian Passage and a highly contested and valuable stretch of the ocean filled with precious resources and long-lost treasures. The nearby volcanoes are constantly erupting and drowning areas of the jungle in molten lava, which infuses the flora with Aqshyian magic causing the flora to grow back with unnatural aggressiveness. In order to stop the growth from overrunning the city noxious defoliants, developed by Ironweld alchemists, are released into the air by great dragonheaded guard towers causing plant life to wither and die.
Although harmless to the city's inhabitants, it shrouds the streets in a semi-permanent grey murk. Anvilgard was invaded by Daughters of Khaine led by the newly ascended Morathi-Khaine with the help of aelves of the Blackscale Coil during the Fall of Anvilgard, despite resistance from Stormcast Eternals, Freeguilds, Dispossessed and loyalist Aelves. The city was annexed into her new empire and was renamed Har Kuron.
