There was an attempt to make the [[Demodand]]s happen - yeah... no. Another abortive attempt was to start the [[vargouille]] down here. ''Planescape'', having taken away the vargs, instead set the headquarters of the Revolutionary League here; which makes some sense when you consider a faction driven by ''ressentement''.

	Of those who actually want to come here, the plane is occasionally used as staging grounds or battlefields for the [[Blood War]]. That would mean [[Tanar'ri]], [[Baatezu]], and [[Yugoloth]] playing both sides against one another.

'''Carceri''' (known in pre-[[Planescape]] times as '''Tarterus''', with both names later being combined into '''The Tarterian Depths of Carceri''') is a [[Alignment\|Neutral Evil Chaotic]] [[Plane\|Outer Plane]] part of the Great Wheel cosmology of [[Planescape]], and an abandoned plane in the [[World Axis]] setting of [[Dungeons and Dragons]].

	Jeff Grubb had designed the plane - in those first-edition days, "Tarterus" - from Greek mythology and the Circles of Dante's ''Divina Commedia''. The second-edition "Carceri" is, accordingly, Italian: for "prisons". As more descriptive, this title persisted into later editions.

	Carceri has six layers, each nested inside one another. The layers take shape of spheres of finite size, each linked to others of its own size stretching into infinity. This means that the second and beyond planes are physically linked to one another despite being fully encased in its above layer(s)~~(maybe each sphere is connected to another sphere via a tube that is fully encased in~~ the ~~corresponding tube for~~ the ~~above layer?)~~.

You can fly between the spheres of the lower layers without passing through the spheres of the upper layers, even though this doesn't really make sense. Despite this all layers have a red sky and light seems to come out of the orbs themselves, meaning that vision, while covered in something of a red tint and underlit, is normal on the plane. As you go deeper down through the layers, the spheres become smaller and much further apart.

	The most inhospitable part of the fourth layer, Colothys, are its massive mountains and wide and deep canyons. Without some kind of flight or teleportation it is almost impossible to navigate given its narrow roads and few and far between bridges. Some trading routes exist, but they are long, perilous and slow to follow. Few things grow on this layer; those that do can be rather dangerous. An example of this is the Garden of Malice, which grows on a single orb. Despite looking beautiful with its many vines and flowers, the Garden is quite dangerous and will attempt to kill anything which comes too close. It is theorized that they're all under the control of [[Hive Mind\|a single organism]] which seeks to spread its seed throughout all layers of the plane. Colothys hosts those whose lies brought harm onto others.		The most inhospitable part of the fourth layer, Colothys, are its massive mountains and wide and deep canyons.
