Cania
Cania
Both pre- and post-Spellplague cosmologies agree that eighth circle of the Nine Hells, Cania, is a bitterly cold-dominant realm of solid ice mountains, titanic, unnaturally fast-moving glaciers, and nearly continuous snowfall that makes Stygia seem balmy by comparison. Unprotected travelers are exposed to temperatures of −60 ℉ (−51 ℃), but on the positive side there are few creatures that hunt in the icy wastes. Earlier lore described the great citadel Mephistar as being constructed of iron, but later reports say the Lord of the Eighth's fortress/palace is made of ice. All accounts seem to agree the tower has a heated, luxurious interior and sits atop a gargantuan glacier called Nargus, whose speed and movement are under the control of Mephistopheles himself.
