The Pit of Despair
The Pit of Despair is a place in the underworld, it is chaos and evil combined in a sort of pocket dimension that seems to be alive and intelligent in some way. Some even talk about it being a place where all nightmares come from.
Those few that managed to find it and escape it say that it is a dungeon that constantly changes and is almost impossible to escape.
When inside one finds themselves in an area that resembles a manor or castle with no windows, which one then is forced to navigate to find the exit. When destroying the walls inside, one finds a thick layer of flesh behind them that seem to make up the rest of the dimension.
When wandering through it, nothing seems to happen at first but over time as one walks through it, events happen that almost make one think the dungeon is attempting to reject the presence of those inside. Whispers can be heard from the walls, strange never before seen beings appear and attempt to devour those not native to this dungeon.
The first creatures are small and easy to defeat at first, however as you kill the creatures and time goes on the dungeon changes. The walls become twisted and strange looking, the creatures become more twisted and stronger. Eventually the dungeon can be heard talking and screaming, it becomes a very hostile and dangerous place where the laws of reality don't apply anymore. Those that don't fall into madness and disappear get killed by the monsters or other hazards inside the dungeon instead. There are scholars that say it is not just a place in the underworld but can be accessed from the overworld as well if one knows the right spell or where to look.
