More of my D&D/Planescape boards and Hero Forge minis available at https://www.digital-demiplane.com/environments/ . Enjoy!

 

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
