The Fourth Circle

A plane of fire, which feeds the volcanic pits that mark the bounds between the Dark and the mortal realm. 
Here, the blessed children of Ariagful walk upon conflagrating seas, seeking egress into the world beyond.
This is the domain of the demonic Efreets, who oversee the forging of great artefacts for the armies of the Archfiends.
They harness the lava that cascades into their great forges, and produce items of power that are desired by both gods and mortals. 
Moulded by the furnaces of the infernal pit that they tend, Efreets are suffused with flickering, magical fire. 
Their very touch can incinerate a mortal where he stands, and when they get the chance to take to a battlefield against mortal foes, they delight in pyrotechnic displays of power, shooting balls of flame into the unfortunate enemy.
Of lesser power, but no less obsessed with fiery conflagration, are the Flamebearers. 
These lesser Abyssals are saved a fate on the First Circle by the usefulness they represent to the Efreet. 
When hordes of these creatures are unleashed, the ground upon which they walk burns hot enough to sear flesh and melt armour.
