The Pyrestone Crucible

The Pyrestone Crucible is a realm of endless fire and molten stone, where rivers of lava carve paths through obsidian landscapes. The air is suffused with heat, smoke, and the constant sound of distant eruptions. Here, towering forges burn with otherworldly flames, creating a perpetual cycle of destruction and renewal. Entire mountains crumble into fiery pits, only to rise anew from the molten sea below. Mortals and souls drawn to this plane are subjected to relentless trials, with their spirits reforged by fire. Some are broken, while others emerge stronger, tempered like steel.

Key Features of the Realm

• The Eternal Forge: A massive, world-spanning anvil and forge fueled by the heart of a primordial volcano. Artifacts of immense power are said to be crafted here.
• The Ashen Fields: Vast plains of volcanic ash where the dead rest in still, eerie silence. Periodically, storms of fire and brimstone sweep across this land, scattering the ashes and symbolizing the impermanence of death.
• The Molten Maw: A gaping chasm at the heart of the plane, representing the source of all destruction. It is said that the Molten Maw is where even the souls of dead gods are unmade, reduced to raw divine essence.
