Overview

Durgoth is instant death by ANY species standard. The third planet of the system is completely and totally uninhabitable.

 The 350 degree temperature would be borderline comfortable to fire-dwellers but the triple normal gravity would not be--nor is the air of Durgoth breathable by anything other than plants. Not to mention that the air contains high concentrations of sulphuric and hydrochloric acids, and has a pressure of 78 atmospheres!

Hazards

Any ship entering the atmosphere will instantly foul its air envelope. Any ship so suicidal as to try and land will be crushed by atmospheric pressure miles above the actual surface.

 Even with fire resistance and adaptation magic no-one could survive the incredible pressures on Durgoth's surface without special dispensation from the gods.

Population

Despite the unbelievable conditions, certain lifeforms do exist. They consist mainly of lichens, fungi, and bizarre slimes and jellies that would die instantly outside Durgoth's pressure-cooker environment. All life forms that do exist are non-intelligent.

Major Products

It is possible truly incredible drugs and other poisons are obtainable from the life forms of Durgoth, but so far no one has even attempted to explore this world of a million deaths.

Magic Use

No known magic would allow a caster to survive the pressures at Durgoth's surface.

Rule Adjustments

Should anyone manage to survive the surface more than an instant, triple all weights and encumbrance, cut all missile ranges by 2/3, treat ALL ranges as long.
