Pandemonium

Pandemonium is an entirely underground realm, its surface being only a windswept plane of smooth rock pockmarked by entrances to its twisting tunnel network.   Below the earth, Pandemonium's tunnels get narrower and its winds more powerful as it gets deeper. The lowest levels of Pandemonium do not even support any caverns, while the tunnels nearer the surface break more frequently into caverns, some large enough to support settlements where the populace attempt to shelter from the unending winds.   The tunnels of Pandemonium are smooth, and many stonesmiths agree that, while the work has long since been smoothed by winds, they appear to be hand-chiseled. Such an undertaking would have been a feat of engineering fit to put Mechanus, the City of Glass, and all other surface wonders to shame, but must have occurred so long ago that there is no record of it.   In the lowest reaches of Pandemonium, normal gravity is reasserted. Brackish water also flows through the tunnels, and the combination of moisture and gravity gives rise to enormous stalactites and stalagmites.   Pandemonium is also said to have multiple sealed-off caverns like bubbles in the stone, reachable only by specially-keyed portal.

The winds of Pandemonium are as unending as they are relentless. Constantly howling at hurricane speeds, they force all conversation to be carried out at a screaming volume. The winds then carry these sounds with them throughout the realm, throwing the shouts and cries of previous travellers around its hollow corridors.   Within Pandemonium's tunnels, gravity is relative, allowing anyone to walk on the walls or ceiling and quickly confusing all sense of direction.

The wind is cold, and blows sand, loose items, and grit along with it. Being underground, there is no weather to speak of, besides the constant winds.

All manner of subterranean creatures live in Pandemonium, and it is the native plane of Howlers.

Pandemonium is hazardous to all forms of both long and short-term health, and is visited only by the desperate and the foolish. Treasure hunters may come chasing rumours of fabulous riches or cursed artifacts hidden away in sealed "bubble vaults" within the stone, or to seek out the Howler's Crag.
