The Six Pales
The Pales are a place of terror and pain -- a place of torment where the souls of the wicked are sent. They are six in number: each one more dangerous and terrifying than the last. It was into this dismal place that the Heroes of the Broken Oar found themselves forced to go in order to track down and defeat the evil Gorgoroth, who had hidden himself away deep in the Sixth Pale with the stolen Gift of the Valar, hoping to use it to raise an army of souls to do his bidding. The Heroes spent several months trekking through the Pales, braving terrifying dangers and fearsome darkness. They traversed endless wastelands, crossed seas of fire, and delved into caves of unending darkness, filled with more terrifying beasts than anyone can imagine. Finally, they reached the end of the Sixth Pale, the very gates of the Void itself, guarded by the three Silmarils, which directed them to Gorgoroth's hidden fortress in the depths of the Sixth Pale.
