| - | =====Mounth Orthrys===== | + | =====Mount Orthrys===== |
| Located in Orthyrys, the first layer of Carceri. A path of white marble steps, known as the Thousand Marble Steps of the Titans, meanders around the slope of this mountain, leading up to the top, where the tip of the mountain touches the tip of another mountain stretching from a neighboring orb. Where the tops of the mountains touch, a speck of white is visible; the Palace of the Titans. The path is blocked at its base by a large black stone fortress, the home of the Horned Knights. | Located in Orthyrys, the first layer of Carceri.

| [[raven_dubois|Lady Raven DuBois]] reportedly has connections to the Red Pit, despite not being a member of the Mercykiller Faction, and uses it as an oubliette for her own enemies. [[cal|Cal's]] father is known to be one such prisoner, and has been rotting away in the Red Pit for several decades. | [[raven_dubois|Lady Raven DuBois]] reportedly has connections to the Red Pit, despite not being a member of the Mercykiller Faction, and uses it as an oubliette for her own enemies.

| - | Thanks to maps and information provided by Zaphon, it is known that the Red Pit's Warden is a Deathknight named "Crackjaw", who rules the place with an iron fist. Reputed to be a legendary swordsman in life who attracted the attention of Nerull in death, he has thrown his lot in with the Mercykillers out of a desire to punish the wretches of the plane he has grown to despise. | ||
| - | |||
| - | 30 living guards are garrisoned at the Red Pit, most of them the lazy, undisciplined cast offs of other Mercykiller fortresses who wanted to be rid of them. A chaplain runs a shrine to Hextor, and a retinue of walking dead attend to Warden Crackjaw. | ||
| The prison consists of a fortress atop a rocky spire in the middle of a foul lake, with four watchtowers. A guardhouse at the edge of the lake contains four guards watching a bridge leading to the entrance. The fortress itself contains a staging area, barracks for the guards, the shrine to Hextor, and the Warden's quarters. The prison levels are underground, dug into the rock of the spite. A shaft leads straight down, opening in the void below the layer and down to the orb of Cathrys, the second layer of the plane. | The prison consists of a fortress atop a rocky spire in the middle of a foul lake, with four watchtowers.

| Another point of interest is the lair of [[Carceri#Sheol]], a juvenile Tartarian Dragon a short distance away from the Red Pit. Rumor has it that Warden Crackjaw once tried to negotiate with Sheol to become allies and work together against the petitioners and criminals of the plane, but the negotiations fell through and the two have been bitter enemies ever since. | Another point of interest is the lair of [[Carceri#Sheol]], a juvenile Tartarian Dragon a short distance away from the Red Pit.

| - | Their enmity proved pivotal in engineering a jailbreak from the Pit, when Sheol was tricked into believing Warden Crackjaw was planning a preemptive attack on her and she opted to attack first instead. The results and aftermath of the battle are unknown, but it's safe to assume the fortress and the garrisoned guards have both suffered from the battle. | + | Their enmity proved pivotal in engineering a jailbreak from the Pit, when Sheol was tricked into believing Warden Crackjaw was planning a preemptive attack on her and she opted to attack first instead.

| - | The Planeswalkers had information that Raven DuBois had gone to the Red Pit to interrogate Cal's father. They managed to break in and rescue him, along with [[Martigan]], by creating a diversion by making a deal with [[Carceri#Sheol]], while Cal and Helga infiltrated it disguised as Mercykiller guards.

| Gallowshome is built around a portal to Sigil inside a cave. Inside the cave is a five-mile expanse, the floor (half a mile below the entry ledge) covered with titanic bones, and the ceiling hangs with titanic bodies dangling from ropes, their throats all cut. Maggots infest the bodies and drop from them to an unknown destiny; the maggots, which attack any who come near, are the souls of sinners and are supposedly keeping the giants dead. | Gallowshome is built around a portal to Sigil inside a cave.

| + | Located at the bottom of Gallowshome, in the skull of a three-eyed creature. It was said to house an artifact, the Keyring of Olidammara. However, after nagivating it's traps, the Planeswalkers found neither the Keyring nor the Reaver's remains; they did find treasure a note from the Reaver.[[entry_nine|9]] | ||
