Caves of Chaos
Anarazel's lair, a sprawling underground complex of natural caverns and trap-filled corridors called the Caves of Chaos, is thought by many to comprise the most extensive dungeon works in the Lower Planes. Cult lore reports that a copy of every valuable ever sacrificed in the Demon Prince’s name can be found within Anarazel's dungeons. Countless artifacts long thought destroyed are in fact secreted within the Caves, protected by a host of grotesque creatures born in the most wretched bowels of the lightless Endless Dark. The most honored souls sworn to Anarazel—those who died while seeking treasure underground without an ounce of fear in their hearts—are transformed into such guardians. Unworthy souls or those captured on the Howling Threshold are brought to Anarazel himself, who dwells at the center of the layer. There the Guardian of a Thousand Terrors reveals his true face to them, drawing strength from their horror in a metaphysical transaction that leaves Anarazel more powerful and that utterly destroys the souls.
