It's Burger King's Hill now. Under it, lurks the Burger King in Yellow.
Modified from something much cooler on RPG.net:
On the night of No Gods, dark spirit fell to earth in a just-opened burger joint in Robcradle. The first 100 customers had their lives snuffed out to create his Domain, a Palace Under the Hill, but the one hundred and first suffered a far worse fate: He was chosen to become the first Burger King In Yellow. The terrible spiritual power entered the man like a raging wildfire, searing away his name as well as most of his mind and soul. When the fire had finally consumed all possible fuel it sputtered and died, leaving behind an empty husk of a man.
The King holds absolute authority in the Domain under the Hill, of which all burger joints are but pale reflections. But such power brings him no satisfaction, for he is consumed by the need to go out into the world to feed and terrify the masses. Most of the time, his throne sits empty and his realm unsupervised. Dust has gathered in previously immaculate corners and the strange and heat-resistant entities lurking in the deep fryer have begun to develop a malign and alien consciousness.
Only in one manner may the Burger King find peace. If an employee should receive the Employee of the Year award seven years running, a black coach marked with silver runes will arrive at his workplace. Shadowy men in black will take him and escort him through secret ways into the Palace Under the Hill. There he will be brought face to face with the Burger King himself. The King will stare into his soul and the employee will scream and scream until he can scream no more, at which point the old King will crumble into dust and the men in black will fit the mask on the sobbing successor.
The original was better but, well, I've always "Burger King" whenever I see that place on the map.
