| + | A potential third route exists, discovered by the [[team pelor#Pelor Strike Team]]. At least once a month, a group of Black Lotus soldiers arrive in Sung Chiang's "([[gehenna#the teardrop palace]])" on Khalas, the first layer of Gehenna. There they receive some mysterious shipment from Noctis, a Yugoloth merchant, before leaving. The path they follow is unknown, but there may be a route back to the Black Lotus fortress there. | ||
