Monastery of the Distressed Flesh
Deep in the Star Peaks, west of Thaliost, the Monastery of the Distressed Flesh occupies an abandoned planar craft hovering in the middle of a gigantic crater. Originally, the gnome inventor Kwalish discovered the existence of the craft when searching for new technology to fuel his research. The planar gate housed in the bridge (now known as the Central Abbey) let loose a bone devil, who destroyed or drove off the inhabitants of the ship, including Kwalish, and founded the monastery with himself as the Grand Master.

Defences
The only way on or off of the floating island is a ferry helmed by a merrenoloth. The main dock for the ferry on the mainland is the Temple of the Sphinx, who guards that entrance.
