Hellfire Rift is an inhospitable plain of lava pools and rivers of molten rock which is located south of Hilt and empties into the Bay of Storms.
The ruins of Alabastia can be found some distance within the lava flows.
In Blade of the Avatar, Syenna mentions a legend that speaks of multiple passagess through the Hellfire Rift known as the Paths of the Dead. It is currently unknown if these actually exist.
Lore
The jagged peaks thrust upward as sharp as finely-honed knives on either side of what passed for a wide valley floor of the Hellfire Rift. The rift itself was a bleeding wound in the world that never healed. Shifting pools of lava sputtered and spit molten rock into slow-moving rivers that glowed with unspeakable heat and shifted down their courses only to cascade back down into crevices once more.
