MINETHYS

A great scarlet desert fills the orbs of Minethys, Carceri’s third layer. Like the other layers, no wind blows that can be felt, but the sands of Minethys shift and move just the same. A parching heat holds dominance over the red sands, which hide more than one ruined castle or treasure vault. Some planar scholars say the great edifices and palaces of the titans banished to Carceri so long ago were cast into Minethys, though there are certainly some smaller sized sites that have been discovered that suggest it’s not just titan architecture buried in the scarlet sands.

The orbs of Minethys are separated by half a mile of darkness. The scorching desert heat exuding from the very core of each orb grows more intense as a traveler leaves the surface, draining life and energy away, until after about 500 feet when the heat barrier breaks and the encompassing darkness washes over.
