The Desert of Demise is the third and "middle" layer of Carceri, the Plane of Prisons. Representing the inevitability of death, this layer is a massive desert sitting within a cosmic hourglass, which flips completely every 24 hours. The base of the landscape is a large desert filled with Meenlocks hiding just beneath the sand, dangerous illusions, and half-crazed convicts wandering the landscape until their eventual demise.
