The third plane of the Nine Hells is ruled by Mammon,
the clutching “Lord of Avarice,” and nothing of value
exists for long on this plane before being destroyed or
taken inside the walls of his many-pillared fortress.
This nameless abode is built of black stone brought
from another plane (possibly the Prime Material), and
stands crazily upon great pillars that sink constantly,
slowly, into the bottomless ooze of the marsh.
The outlands of Minauros form one great dismal
marsh of stinking, rotting earth, covered with carrion and some inches of water. It is a place of eternal
rain; dirty water mixed with hail falls ceaselessly, at
a steady pace, from the murky, fog-shrouded air. The
bodies of a great many creatures lie here; indeed, it is
said elsewhere in the hells that Mammon’s house is
built upon them.
