Hallway in the Charcoal Palace
   This decadent hallway is lined with pulsating braziers of flame which
flare up in unison along the entire length of the corridor.  Almost as if the
palace were alive and breating, each brazier pulsates in turn before returning
to a more subdued light.  High above upon the ceiling, spiralling shafts of
rock spin towards the ground, growing ever thinner and sharper as they come
within half the distance from roof to floor.  The tips of the spikes glow
a deep red in color, perhaps indicating that there is more to them than
is currently visible.  The entryway to the Charcoal Palace lies to the east,
while the main corridor continues westwards.

Entryway to the Charcoal Palace
   This is the massive entryway to the palace proper which is bordered on
each side by a guard post.  A portcullis crafted from obsidian lies upon either
side of the chamber, ready to be placed into action should the need arise.  An
ambient light drifts into the area through the cracks in the dark stone floor,
where it appears that the volcanic action beneath the palace proper is actually
providing the light.  The area is swelteringly hot as one would expect from
this hellish place.  The palace gates lie just to the east, while the rest of
the abode of Kossuth lies to the west.

Gates of the Charcoal Palace
   Twin gates of some alchemical amalgam stand before the entrance to the
Charcoal Palace here. The gates span a massive distance for any mortal creature
and as such, the metallic-rock gates must be made of an impressively strong
substance. The gatehouse leading into the palace lies just beyond the gates,
and appears to be heavily guarded. Wisps of smoke waft through the gates
regularly, floating outwards and partially obscuring the upper reaches of the
gatehouse parapets. There are several blackened corpses of large beasts hanging
ominously from metal spikes drilled into the archway over the gates. A strange
silence seems to permeate the area, almost as a calm before a storm.

Bridge of Fire
  A whisper-thin bridge of onyx, obsidian, basalt and hardened ash traverses
the vast depths that lie between the edge of the cone and the center, where
the Charcoal Palace hangs suspended just above a pillar of molten lava.  The
spiraling and writhing formations of stone spin about each other and form
wicked spikes and spines.  These protrusions make the already foreboding
scene even more dire.  Somewhere, the tumultuous forces that bind the plane
together are straining against each other, making the already unstable
ground even more so.  The groaning of rock against rock echoes across the
entire cone, reverberating loudly against everything solid.

An Obsidian Bridge Over a Fiery Chasm
   Fathoms above the surface of the bubbling and chrning magma below, this
bridge extends from the edge of the cinder cone's top, out towards the Charcoal
Palace. The palace itself seems to float within the air, tethered to the ashen
mountains by only the bridge. Towering spires writhe and weave in the likeness
of flames reaching towards the fiery sky above. Spiked protrusions extend
outwards from random locations all around the palace walls. Wisps of thick
smoke seem to ooze slowly out of the structure, coalescing in great swaths
above the highest reaches of the palace. The bridge leads eastwards towards
the field of the ashen slopes.

Upon the Ashen Slopes of a Great Volcanic Mountain
   The dark meandering slopes of the mountain spread out like a smoothed skirt
to form a massive base for the cinder cone.  Large fissures break up the
otherwise groomed surface of the slopes in several places.  Many glowing shapes
move about the slopes, moving over the top of the ashen surface easily.  Many
of these disappear within the fissures for several moments before exiting and
continuing on their way.  A rather tangible orange haze obscures the upper
portion of the mountain.  The shifting and billowing cloudiness threatens to
careen down the side of the mountain at any time, but for now it merely awaits
a better time.

travel upon the treacherous surface.  Larger chunks of hardened volcanic rock
with thousands of rough and sharp edges protrude from the mountainside, adding

An Enormous Mountain of Ash and Pulverized Volcanic Rock
   A cinder cone of ash and pulverized volcanic rock has formed here over the
endless time since the Elemental Plane of Fire was first created.  The great
size of the conic mountain is apparent from the sheer distance the slopes take
to get to the top.  Running at low angle of about thirty degrees, the slopes
rise extremely slowly to the peak of the cone several miles high at it's peak.
Upon the vast slopes, creatures of fire toil tirelessly, adding more of the
volcanic remains of the plane to the mountain.
