Chamada

Chamada, also known as the Molten, was the second layer of Gehenna. It contained the divine realms of Iyachtu Xvim, Maanzecorian, and Memnor.

Geography
Of all four layers of Gehenna, Chamada was the most violent and inhospitable. Sustained volcanic activity kept the slopes constantly flowing with thick lava, to the point that solid ground was only rarely found. The entire layer glowed bright red from the incandescent rock, brightly enough for the entire mount to be visible from the first layer of Khalas despite the enormous distance between the two. From the point of view of an observer in the first layer, Chamada appeared to be a bright-red burning moon.

Vast rivers of magma flowed and twisted endlessly down the slopes of Chamada, cooling in some locations only to explode in others, creating plumes of lava, secondary volcanoes, and veering in different directions. The extreme heat was hazardous for any unprotected living creature.

Due to this eternally ongoing eruption, the air of Chamada was permanently filled with ash, which could entirely block visibility in some locations. The entire layer smelled so strongly of charred flesh and sulfur that it caused an effect similar to that of a permanent stinking cloud spell. Since the ground was the only source of illumination in the layer, all shadows projected upwards.

Geographical Features
The layer was orbited by the flying city of Nimicri, which resembled a small moon but was actually a single living organism.
