Geography

From the Devil's Platter, the Pit can be accessed only via winding furrows or by flight. Caverns throughout the region connect to the Pit from below. This 100-foot-wide hole shares the appearance of a sinkhole, and ledges and rope ladders lead into the depths.

History

In -4172 AR, the cleric Sazzleru defeated Uvaglor, the demonic spawn of Pazuzu and Lamashtu, and banished him to imprisonment in the Maelstrom. Sazzleru also established a powerful ward on the Abyssal influence over the Pit.

Inhabitants

Numerous fell creatures inhabit the connected caverns, including goblin tribes, deros, xulgaths, and the Sandpoint Devil. An ancient temple dedicated to Kabriri is located in the deepest parts.
