Rotmeir

Rotmeir

Rotmeir is a cavern that stretches thousands of miles long and tall, but only maybe thirty feet wide. It's walls are criss-crossed with iron catwalks, and below and above those, suspended in spiked chains, are the souls of the damned, tortured and taunted by The Chained, their ever-present jailers. The Chained are skeletal beings, held together by iron needles and pins and chains so thin they are almost thread. The Chained are souls that have been offered redemption, and refused it, seven times. They are freed from their chains and placed in new ones, cursed to forever wander the dripping, cold hall they were given the chance to leave.

The torture hall is a shaft at the center of a mountain that is a thousand miles high. The entirety of the mountain is filled with a weaving cave complex, where the lower you go, the stronger, and more dangerous, the demons become. The surface of the mountain is a great jungle, full of running victims and prowling hunters. Quicksand and pits of tar are common on the lowest slopes. In the heights, snow and ice of impossible cold freeze tormented victims in place, until they are wanted for hunting purposes. At the base of the mountain, the ground becomes swampy with the bloody water that washes in from the high tides of the sea of blood that surrounds it. Countless islands of personal torture are scattered across it's infinite expanse. Aquatic demons and other horrors lurk within.
