Features:

– Unholy swamps of Othrys in Carceri (a.k.a. Tartarus), the Prison Plane, home of exiles and the forgotten of the multiverse; full of monsters that could not be killed, only locked away. Once you arrive in Carceri, it is almost impossible to escape

– Strongly evil- and mildly chaotic-aligned;

– Most of the waters are poisoned; vegetation is fiendish and carnivorous, and an eerie red glow emits from the earth

– Beware of plots of earth that glow an odd green: a sign of deadly quicksand

– Inhabitants are treacherous, self-serving bullies, many desperate to find a way out of Carceri; one such native is the Gautiere

– Demodand fiends serve as cruel wardens and tyrants of the plane, alongside the Tarterian Dragons

– Deadly flora such as bloodthorn, razorvine and ironmaws grow in amundance

– Great Titans, exiled from Olympus, march through the swamp to and from the nearby mountains; their gargantuan footprints flatten trees, and leave great lakes and banks in the marshland

– Collosal chains rise from the poisoned marsh, connecting to a red planetoid that fills most of the sky above; the planetoid is merely one of a series of great spheres or moons, each its own prison, spiraling into an infinite red haze

Notes:

– Basically a hell dimension for the worst cuttrhoats, outlaws, and exiles in existence; you must’ve really sucked in your past life to end up in this afterlife, and you’re never getting out

– The only settlement on the map is likely full of terrible, treacherous people (note the piles of bones under the shacks), and possibly a hag

– A few hidden treasures on the map, mostly the packs of dead adventurers, and occasional rare mushrooms (usually surrounded by quicksand)

– Portal (blue fire ring) can be closed with a hide volume
