Mungoth

Mungoth is the third layer of the Outer Plane of Gehnna.

Geography

Mungoth is far less volcanically active than the topmost two layers Khalas and Chamada, but not completely extinct. There are still cool lava furnaces that provide a dull reddish glow to the layer, as well as volcanic vents that continuously spew ash into the air. Nevertheless, temperatures across the layer are very low, so that it is under almost constant snowfall. The snow mixed with the volcanic ash turned acidic and can rapidly damage unprotected living creatures, burning through most ordinary clothing. Upon hitting the ground, the snow and ash mixture turns into thick mud that makes the slopes extremely slippery. Mudslides and lava flows are common and frequently buried the caves that serve as temporary shelters from the acidic snow.

Notable Locations
