Not only geologically dead, the layer was also devoid of any other signs of life. There was no wind, no source of light or heat, and no natural sounds. The only pervasive smell was that of brimstone. The only times wind blew on the slopes were when an occasionalportalshifted the air. The only sounds heard were distant footsteps of visitors.^[3]The layer's rarepetitionerskept very quiet for fear of being discovered by its residinglichlord.^[2]
