Minauros

Minauros

The third circle of the Nine Hells, Minauros as a layer is described as an endless bog of vile pollution, decaying bodies, and rotting marshes, repeatedly drenched by rain, sleet, and hail storms. The soggy, bone-strewn, disease-ridden swampland makes movement very difficult and is only broken occasionally by serpentine ridges of volcanic rock. Nameless creatures that even the devils fear inhabited the swamp. Minauros as a realm is depicted as a broad but low-vaulted cavern connected to Dis. An oily water percolates through the roof of the cave and rains down upon swamps, deserts of mud and oozing black soil, pockmarked by bubbling fumaroles and mud geysers.
Minauros is also the name of the city built of black stone by Mammon on the treacherous surface of this place. Only the ceaseless efforts of thousands of minions and slaves prevent the city from sinking and being consumed by the bog. The city of Jangling Hiter, also known as the City of Chains, hangs by massive links of chain above the noisome fen and is ruled by kytons.
