Hegui Village Unholy Maiden

Hegui Village is a small, isolated settlement hidden deep on the second floor of Layer 2 — the Poisonous Swamp. With no natural daylight, it is nearly impossible to tell night from day. Because of the constant threat of small goblins and toxic creatures, the village is surrounded by a high wooden fence that does not melt in the poisonous waters. The swamp itself is always a deep purple, and there is no sky above — only the closed ceiling of the dungeon.

The leader of Hegui Village is Maiden Amanda, an extremely old woman who founded the settlement. In her youth she was a shrine maiden, destined like the others to be sacrificed to an old, forgotten god who would use her as both offering and plaything until a new maiden arrived. Seeking eternal life, she turned to forbidden magic and rituals, becoming a corrupted shrine maiden of great power. She learned how to resist the swamp’s poison and melting effects, settled in the depths of the mire, and began cooking stews of human flesh. Through corruption and dark rites she gathered others and created a place where she could continue to twist new arrivals. The villagers call her Aunt Amanda. Though she appears frail, she is immensely powerful. She wields corruption magic, dark rituals, and a brainwashing spell similar to the one used by goblins. She mostly employs it to terrify would-be killers until they wet themselves, or to turn female adventurers who try to assassinate her into obedient sex dolls for the village. Amanda usually remains inside her house and rarely acts directly. When a new dungeon raider is trapped in the village, she personally cooks the stew for them and uses gentle pressure and careful manipulation to make them eat it.

The village itself is quite small. Aunt Amanda’s house stands near plots of garlic and other vegetables. In the center lies a campfire and a combined supply shop / blacksmith. There is also a small free house for newly captured raiders and a treehouse that is only accessible at night. The village is surrounded by flowers and shallow puddles, some of which contain leeches. Beyond the flowers, tucked into the corners against the rock walls, stand a few small buildings. One of them looks ordinary but hides a secret passage leading to a jail where raiders marked for consumption are held, as well as a large kitchen used for preparing human bodies and a cookbook of recipes. Amanda’s own house contains another hidden passage that leads to her private, secluded jail. In the opposite corner of the village is a small toolshed.

The settlement is protected by high wooden walls manned by villagers who keep watch on the outside. Only Amanda knows the full secret of walking the poisonous swamp; she provides the others with a special potion that allows them to cross the toxic water without their legs melting. The villagers are capable of self-defense and are surprisingly strong. Outside the walls live various dangerous creatures: purple wasps that have adapted to the poison, giant worms, other venomous insects, and cunning goblins. These goblins are the size of small children, with brownish skin. Unlike the larger goblins of Layer 3, they are smaller but far more clever and agile, easily dodging attacks from unprepared raiders. They throw a poisonous liquid capable of brainwashing human women; after three to five doses a woman’s personality is completely rewritten so that she obeys only the goblin tribe. After using the women as breeding stock, the goblins sometimes kill them. Amanda often points to these goblins and other monsters as a reason why no one should leave the village until they have fully recovered.

There are only three ways to leave Hegui Village. The first is the main metal gate that leads back into the second-floor swamp; it is usually locked with a very strong mechanism. The second is to cross the poisonous swamp itself — extremely dangerous without the special potion, as the water melts skin and bone. The third is to somehow reach a broken ladder that once led to the Layer 2 maze filled with deadly traps; the villagers deliberately destroyed the ladder long ago.

The population is roughly 60 % men and 30 % women (the remaining percentage consists of children). Some of the adults were once raiders who stayed after becoming addicted to the stew; others were born in the village. The men tend to be heavy-set from the constant diet of stew and meat, while the women are mostly voluptuous — the result of deliberate selection by the villagers.

The village grows its population in a calculated way. When a raider collapses somewhere the villagers can reach, they bring the person to the free house and allow them to stay as long as they wish. They act kind and hospitable while the kitchen workers carefully note every detail of the newcomer’s body — fertility, fat content, curves — and decide whether the raider is better turned into stew or kept as breeding stock. At night, while the raiders sleep, Amanda summons the villagers to her house to vote. Once the decision is made, she begins feeding the chosen ones the human-meat stew. When a raider becomes addicted, they are either sent to the treehouse or killed on the spot and cooked into the next batch of stew.

If a raider is judged worth keeping and has become addicted, a special ritual takes place. All captured raiders and selected villagers are sent to the treehouse for a night-long breeding and marriage orgy. The raiders are given a powerful sex cocktail, and the entire group has sex until morning. Afterward, every female raider becomes a collective bride to all the village men and is fully accepted as a villager. Male raiders simply become ordinary villagers. From that moment on, the new brides must obey every man in the village and bear children for them.

Although Amanda is the undisputed leader, a strong patriarchal order exists among the villagers. Once a woman has undergone the ritual, she has almost no personal rights. Any man may sexually use her whenever he wishes. The women tend the crops and usually carry five or more children from different men. Despite this, most of them come to enjoy their new life in the village.

The world above is a dark fantasy setting. On the surface stands the city of Rosenford, which sends raiders into the dungeon to slay monsters and bring back loot. Many of those raiders never return — either dead or trapped somewhere in the depths.

The village is protected by Amanda’s barrier, which blocks all teleportation magic back to Rosenford (and any other teleportation). Attempting to use such magic causes a violent backlash that seriously injures the caster.

The villagers keep two pigs. One is a personal pet in the store. And other is for eating bones and wastes villagers can't eat, human guts and meat that villagers won't eat or feed it to the pig to keep it as other meat stock if there's no raiders.

A few villagers stand out. One elderly man has a strong fetish for pregnant women and often asks to touch their bellies or simply stares at them. The merchant wears a bag over his head as a mask, making him look like an executioner or a scarecrow. The blacksmith is extremely muscular and generally prefers eating raiders rather than letting them stay.

The village deliberately allows some raiders to escape. If every Rosenford raider were captured or killed, the city would eventually send an army to destroy the settlement. Those marked for eating are never permitted to leave. Those who are too thin, infertile, or otherwise worthless are allowed to walk free. Once a raider has become a full villager, however, they are never allowed to leave again.

The villagers keep their cannibalism a closely guarded secret from all outsiders until those people either join them or become food. Everyone in the village knows the truth, but no one ever speaks of it openly. The silence ensures that travelers and raiders will still occasionally stop in the village. People on the surface have either never heard of Hegui Village or know almost nothing about it, for it lies hidden deep within a swamp ravine.

The purple swamp water is, in truth, the ancient blood of the forgotten god, long ago transformed into deadly poison.

This is a dark fantasy world in which people delve into the dungeon for loot — and some of them never come back.
