Agathion

Pandemonium — Layer the Fourth

The Godsvault; the Hollow of Isolation; the Oubliette

The strangest and deadliest layer of Pandemonium, Agathion is almost entirely solid, an infinity of light-stealing, soul-crushing rock. Here and there are isolated, pockets of space; cavern-bubbles unconnected to any other, some with air and some filled with pure void. It’s a place of sensory deprivation, except for the wind which still somehow finds its way into any place with air. This is the hiding-place of the powers; inaccessible vaults of absolute seclusion and impenetrability. Here, the gods imprison entities and artifacts that terrify even them. Some cutters whisper that the Lady of Pain herself used to imprison her enemies here, before learning the secret behind forming her Mazes. This is the plane of secrets that need to be forgotten.
