The plane is referred to as the Bleak Eternity, though this description does not do it justice – four volcanoes of mind-boggling size dominate each of its layers, from the churning lava heart ofChamada to the icy silence ofKrangath. The bleakness comes from the perspective Gehenna forces upon all who tread its mountains layers, that greed and the pursuit of power is the only real goal in the multiverse. Of course, it’s no surprise that theyugoloths who play at being mercenary in the Blood War that rages eternally would find Gehenna a fitting home.”  \nMalakara the Warden  \nIt is said by the poetic among the multiverse that mercy goes to die on the volcanic slopes within the Bleak Eternity of Gehenna. Also known as the Fourfold Furnaces, Gehenna consists of four layers that are each the home to a volcano of staggering size. Most planar scholars believe Gehenna to be the smallest of the Outer Planes, though the lightless void through which the volcanoes drift endlessly is said to have no end, nor any substantial qualities.  \nGreed and suspicion walk together on Gehenna, and it has been theorized that the type of evil embodied in the Bleak Eternity is of a fouler and more sinister nature than the Abyss or the Nine Hells. The ideas of personal advancement and self-preservation are not just theoretical ideas here – they are enforced by the environment of Gehenna, which suppresses charity unlike anywhere else in the multiverse. Any helpful act must be inherently selfish in order to succeed in the Fourfold Furnaces, and these acts are viewed by some of the native celestials of the Upper Planes as the greatest evil.  \nPhysically, Gehenna is a difficult realm that tests visitors and natives alike. The volcanic nature of each layer creates a plane where no flat surface exists naturally. Everything sits on the slope of the layer’s volcano, and the only flat platforms are created artificially by the residents of the plane. Falling is a real hazard, as are rockslides, earthquakes, and poisonous gases, along with volcanic eruptions from the more volatile layers.  \nTo survive in the Fourfold Furnaces of Gehenna, a person must be willing to push themselves to meet and exceed regular challenges. On the surface, this can be an uplifting and empowering idea, but on Gehenna this concept is perverted with a palpable sense of evil emanating for each volcano’s heart. To exceed, Gehenna whispers, a person must be better than their fellows, and to show mercy is a weakness the plane does not abide.  \nGehenna lacks the raw evil chaos of the Abyss or the militant ordered evil of Baator and relies more on the advancement of the self at the expense of other or lesser creatures","cbCairghPMbnp85M","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairghPMbnp85M","pdf",517394,23,"English","# Bleak Eternity of Gehenna\n## Fourfold Furnaces and plane origins\n## Temperament, evil, and suppressed charity\n## Geography, hazards, and survival challenges\n## Yugoloths and notable inhabitants\n## Relations to Carceri and common treachery\n## Notable figures: Sung Chiang and others","[{\"question\":\"What is Gehenna, and what does “Bleak Eternity” refer to?\",\"answer\":\"Gehenna is described as a plane where greed and the pursuit of power dominate minds. “Bleak Eternity” refers to its layered structure centered on four enormous volcanoes that create a harsher perspective and endless bleakness.\"},{\"question\":\"How is Gehenna’s geography different from other planes?\",\"answer\":\"Gehenna’s volcanic layers mean there are no natural flat surfaces.
