Location: Minethys
Rumors
- The next lower layer of Carceri is a place of yellow sand and skin-flaying wind.
- Travelers say cloth over the mouth is the only reason anyone survives there at all.
- Somewhere on the next layer, a trickster god may be found.
What is Known
- Minethys is a lower layer of Carceri reached by descending beyond Cathrys.
- The worlds there are smaller and much farther apart.
- The landscape is cold, windy, and filled with blowing yellow sand.
- Visibility is poor in the sandstorms.
- The wind-driven sand can choke, scour skin, and even flay the unprotected.
- Wet cloth offers some protection against the worst of the choking sand.
- The yellow sand and red glow of the worlds can make the orbs appear orange from a distance.
- Abi described Minethys as the next layer below Cathrys.
- Jesse is said to know a trickster god on the next layer, making Minethys the likely next step in the party’s search.
History
- Minethys has not yet been reached directly by the party.
- Its current description comes from Abi’s warning about the next descent through Carceri.
- The party’s next lead toward Loki may draw them there through Jesse’s knowledge of a trickster god on the next layer.
People
- Said to know a trickster god on the next layer
Loose Threads
- Is the trickster god Jesse knows actually Loki?
- What powers or settlements endure in Minethys despite the sandstorms?
- What preparation will the party need to survive the next descent?
