The Undying Valley
The Undying Valley is a 'Pathway Realm' in a larger cosmology that connects many realms together. Similar to The Twilight Bridge, some realms have a stronger connection to others to The Undying Valley. Furthermore, connections differ entirely in their format between realms too. An overgrown, dying footpath in an evergreen forest might provide some access with the right equipment or magic ability, or the depths of an ocean might offer a cavern that leads directly into an ocean in The Undying Valley.
Important note: In the Great Wheel cosmology from the D&D universe, the River Styx flows through the top level of the Lower Planes. In this cosmology, the River Styx actually flows through The Undying Valley, still connecting these planes.

House of Black Lanterns
It is a three-storied inn with three wings that face into a great cobblestone courtyard illuminated by long black lanterns on poles each burning faintly with a blue light. The inn has been a part of The Undying Valley for a really long time but no one knows of its origin. The inn is manned by a well-trained staff of undead creatures that cater to the needs of the visitors, they never disclose how they came to serve the House. The House appears where it is needed and when it is needed. Its coming is marked by the ringing of a bell three times. The house is currently under the ownership of a Tiefling named Yarol who claims to have won the inn in a game of chance. The inn is a location where weapons and spells are not allowed to maintain peace. The inn is used by many as a place of respite from the long journey in The Undying Valley. It is known to jump from location to location picking up travellers who wish to rest. With a few kind words and a good amount of gold, one can convince Yarol to transport the Inn to a destination of the persuaders choosing.
