Cathrys

Cathrys, also called the Scarlet Jungle, is the second layer of the Outer Plane of Carceri.

Geography

Cathrys looks like a bead of planet-sized pearls without a string. The distance between two orbs is about 500 miles. The orbs are smaller than the ones in Othrys. The orbs of Cathrys are full of vibrant plant life. Some parts are covered in a red jungle that stinks of rot and decay and whose plants secrete acid. The smell is very strong but ultimately harmless, but the acid is a different matter. It is so corrosive that it destroys metal in one to ten minutes, leather in one to four minutes, and it is lethally dangerous to any creature that does not develop a protection against it, like the natives, who developed it by never bathing and therefore gaining a protective sheen on their skin. Other landscapes include plains and dry grassland. The grass was razor sharp and maintaining roads is vital for survival, otherwise travelers are in danger of being cut to death by the tall grass. It is possible to avoid this fate by applying protection against it. These grasslands are considered the habitable parts of Cathrys.
