Neraka is the home of the Dark Queen's Temple of Darkness. Raised 141 years after the Cataclysm, the original cornerstone of the Temple of Istar is the seed of the twisted temple. The city itself is really nothing more than a living place for Takhisis' minions. In addition, barracks were installed for the five dragonarmies gathered around Neraka.

When travelers found the city, they mistook it for the 'Lost City of Neraka.' Those who survived the dark legions have named the city 'Neraka.' The city erupted into chaos at the end of the War of the Lance, when Highlord Ariakas was killed by Tanis Half-Elven and the Ruling Crown was thrown into the Dragonarmies.
