Access to Tiamat's Lair is blocked by the Maggot Pit. This is a huge crater easily a thousand feet across filled with ooze and writhing maggots. It is from this primordial soup that new lemures and nupperibos are born. The Maggot Pit is guarded by a red abishai named Arraka, who can gat in more devils in case of emergency. Arraka has been known to accept bribes in exchange for a sage flight over the Maggot Pit.
The Maggot Pit abuts a sheer rock wall that stretches across the plain and rises as far as the eye can see. A single cave mouth pierces the wall; this is the entrance to Tiamat's Lair. Here the Lady of Dragonkind guars the only gateway to the second layer of Hell. She is attended by her five consorts, the most powerful male great wyrms of each chromatic color (red, black, green, blue, and white). Those who make it to Tiamat's Lair have but three options: bargain, flee, or die.
