GEHENNA -- NEUTRAL EVIL LAWFUL

Gate-town: Torch. It's built amid volcanic spires and is surrounded by a stinking blood-red marsh. The gate: it is a big red gem hovering high off the ground (about 30').

The Fourfold Furnaces, the Fires of Perdition...these names don't begin to describe the horrors of Gehenna, where there's no escape from pain, no free will and no mercy.

Each of Gehenna's four layers is a volcano floating freely in space, with a peak at both top and bottom. The volcanoes are literally hundreds of thousands of miles tall. Level ground doesn't exist on any of the layers, and each of them is as inhospitable as possible. Travelers to this plane have got to watch out for lava flows, gaseous explosions, burning grounds on the hot furnaces, and acidic snow and bitter cold on the cold ones.

The yugoloths live on Gehenna, although some claim the Gray Waste was their original home. The yugoloths remain neutral in the Blood War, but that doesn't mean they're not involved. They hire themselves as mercenaries to either side, taking great profit from baatezu and tanar'ri war. In fact, it's rumored they had more to do with the beginning of the Blood War the the baatezu and tanar'ri themselves.

A planewalker won't find much here but pain. One exception is the orb-town of Nimicri, which floats above the second layer. Its surprisingly organized and unified people run a fairly well-stocked bazaar. On the other hand, the Tower of the Arcanaloths holds great lore but also a messy death --chant is these yugoloths don't take to visitors, in particular thieves, kindly.
