Dragon's Pit.

Named because of the many burns and scortch marks and barren land that make this place, the Dragon's Pit is a vast land of emptiness. Many say that the rocky moutains around these parts are acutally dragons in hibernation, though no one wants to prove that just yet. Barely any life lives here, usually just dead trees scattered here and there, as well as lizards that are used to this terrain.

Because this place is so vast and barren, often captives are let out here to suffer because you can never find your way out unless you've taken the path.
