| The Plane of Sorrow |
|
The Plane of Sorrow is the name given to the area east of the Uraval Mountains. The entire area is collectively known as the dark side of Kalijor but the Plane of Sorrow is its actual name. This region is enormous, and featureless. It is covered in a thick, reddish-orange silt-like material that is just moist enough to stick to everything, but doesn't carry enough moisture to actually prove useful for anything. There are several species of crawling weeds and tangling vines that creep across the surface of the plane but they too are good for nothing but tripping up unfortunate travelers in the area. In the northern area of the plane stands the lonely volcano, at the base of which is the city of Bête Noire. In the south is the Dead Sea and somewhere in the center of the region is one of the five ziggurats of Kalijor, and an ancient castle that has been claimed by an ancient arch lich. The Plane of Sorrow is crawling with undead creatures of every sort from zombies to skeletons, ghouls, ghasts, wraiths, and similar. No travelers are ever safe anywhere within the region at any time.
