lulaana, Outer Plane of Vitiation

Lulaana; The Realm of Vitiation. What is known about this plane is that the realm serves as home to a being who has demanded the deaths of thousands in tribute.

Geography

The realm is centralized around a massive, red, crystalline monolith. The base of the monolith is cloaked in wispy, white smoke drifting from the black hill the monolith rises from. The ground sets out in a subtle spiral from around the monolith, starting in the stark charcoal color of the hill, fading to oranges and deep reds as it moves further away from the centerpiece. The ground itself seems organic, rippled and crossing over itself. The grounds' texture and feeling gives the impression that it may be made of chitin or keratin. Hundreds of miles out from the monolith, in a shocking change, the strange land shifts to a much more mundane, yet sinister, one: A deep, dark, forest set upon grass and dirt.
The White Throne
Nestled within a fork of the landscape at the base of the Monolith sits a white, limestone throne. The large throne matches the size of the being usually seated upon it. It sits upon a perfectly smooth rectangle of ground, seemingly cut into the ground and smoothed. Present alongside it are a raised sacrificial tablet on a dais and crystals that conform to whatever shape Daeala commands.
The Monolith
Whether the monolith produced Lulaana, or something produced the monolith is a secret only Daeala knows. The towering, deep-red block spans hundreds of feet into the air, looming over the plane. Looking deeply into the monolith is headache inducing to those of the strongest wills, and weaker mortals have been instantly driven mad by mere glimpses. Its existence seems to exude suffering, and a those who stand close to it feel the pervasive sensation of a voyeuristic gaze gleaming outward from its surface.
The Expanse
A subtle breeze blows across the expanse of chitinous land that spreads out from the monolith. Or rather, it follows the spiraling grooves of the surface. The wind blows around the monolith at the center. Even the clouds in the sky form an eye above the slab, black towards the center and red as they draw away. The plane is more grooved and ridged towards the center, but as it moves away from the eye the land smooths out to gentle ripples. The ground resounds with dead thuds, but is almost always silent for the lack of life. A crimson rain will occassionally fall, leaving behind puddles of blood, making the realm smell strongly of iron. Daeala's company lies only in the creatures called Dagger Hounds that wander the expanse.
The Forest
The forest encircling the expanse is devoid of sounds aside from the winds that blow through. On occasion, one may find the winds rapidly flowing through, screaming amongst the trunks and leaves. But perhaps the worst part is that staring deep into the darkness of the forest feels as if something is staring back. The attentive may see movement through the leaves. So few have been to Lulaana that none are known to have entered the wilds. What lurks beyond the edge can only be speculated. With such sinister intent staring back from the endless greenery, it is likely unwise to tread deeper.

Fauna & Flora

Dagger Hounds are the only known creatures in Lulaana, though it is speculated that something lurks within the forest.
The flora at the edge of the expanse appear to be normal oak and spruce trees.
