The Fell Monolith

It is said that the Fell Monolith is a remnant of a plane that came before the Planes of Hell came into existence. By and large, the realm it exists in is a smooth, flat plain that the monolith itself rises from the center of. The Monolith towers over everything else in the Planes, a massive piece of seemingly solid obsidian that rises from the ashen colored ground. Even the massive Hossum do not reach the height or strength to topple the Monolith.
The plains of the Monolith are usually where wars between the Hellspawn are fought, armies stretching across as far as the eye can see. While usually such battles are fought with little seriousness, sometimes they can be such. Barbaggi, once the Hossum who watched over the Tower, fought a campaign there millenia ago to tear control of the neighboring Spires from its then watcher Morgoth. Both Barbaggi and Morgoth were killed in the campaign, Morgoth sacrificing themself in order to slay their opponent. The crystalized remains of their massive forms still remain, forever locked in the last throes of their conflict.
Naugrifenn, the Hossum who rules the Monolith, is perhaps the most ancient Hellspawn. The largest of their kind, they have a form akin a mortal felid only one with the head more akin to a reptile (long-snouted and rippling with razor-sharp teeth, capable of breaking even Hellspawn bone with a simple snap). While Naugrifenn may have once been made of something else, now they are made of sleek obsidian, a mirror of the ancient Monolith that rises from the center of their domain.
