CATHRYS

Carceri’s second layer is Cathrys, home to vast swaths of dense crimson jungles and fields of scarlet grass. An acidic rot fills Cathrys’ air, eating away at organic matter slowly (or quickly in the case of the deepest jungles). The scarlet grasslands move without breeze or wind, and most contain razor-sharp grasses that hunger for nourishing blood.

Smaller than Othrys, the distance between the Cathrys orbs in its infinite string is about 1,000 feet. Most of the fetid jungles of the layer seek out any that try to escape its grasp, pulling them down with a savage fury, as if Carceri itself sought to prevent travel from one sphere to the next.
