Arsenic Vault

From PathfinderWiki

The Arsenic Vault is a vast mountain-turned-fortress in Malebolge, the sixth layer of Hell. The Vault is connected to the Universe by the Magrevore, a portal hidden in the Darklands beneath the town of Khoka in the desert nation of Qadira. The Magrevore is guarded by Mardehzuk, a powerful nessari worshipper of Moloch who uses a network of hryngars1 to secure slaves that he then sacrifices to the Magrevore, channeling them to Hell via the Arsenic Vault.

The Vault is a mountain of solid metal that has been slowly carved by Malebolge's devils over uncountable eons into a massive fortress.2
