The Festering Pit of Fu Leng, also known as the Demon's Gate, [1] was the place where Fu Leng landed when the Kami fell from Tengoku, [2] the center of what would be known as the Shadowlands. [3] Fu Leng plunged through the earth to Jigoku itself. The corruption of Jigoku spread from the hole in the earth to the surrounding lands, and demons followed in his shadow. [4] The Gaping Maw corresponds to the Festering Pit in Ningen-do. [5]
Landscape[]
The sky above the Pit was alternately red with fire or black with smoke. The Pit itself yawned hundreds of yards wide, a gaping maw lined with jagged rocks and shards of obsidian. The lower reaches of the Pit roiled with an inchoate sea of bile and filth from which constantly crawled newly formed monstrosities. Wastes around the Pit were lands cracked and broken, with sharp rocks and deep fissures. Foul oozes and pools of ichor filled many such crevices, while others served as lairs to the fiercest monsters to crawl from the Pit. [6]
