The Forgotten Realms [Fan Version]

Durao, the 274th layer of the Abyss, presents a stark, militaristic landscape devoid of a ruling power. Iron roads slice through fetid swamps, leading to fortified encampments and barracks lining the banks of the Styx, a grim staging ground for the Blood War's demonic legions. The layer's air crackles with the tension of departed armies, leaving behind a skeletal infrastructure of war. Patrolling the desolate outskirts are three vigilant molydei, their forms a constant, menacing presence, tasked with hunting down deserters and spies within this chaotic realm. The oppressive atmosphere, a blend of stagnant swamp air and the metallic tang of iron, underscores Durao’s purpose: a brutal, transient military outpost in the infinite, ever-shifting horrors of the Abyss, a place where the river Styx cuts through the landscape, a constant reminder of the plane's connection to other fiendish realms.

The landscape is dominated by dark, murky swamps interspersed with rusted iron structures and makeshift barracks. The Styx flows ominously through the layer, its waters reflecting the chaos of the Blood War.
