Shayol Ghul is a mountain beyond the Blight in the north of the known world. It is the place in the physical world to which the Dark One's prison is closest. The Dark One can exert far greater control over the mountain and the surrounding area than other places in the physical world, and his high-ranking followers such as the Chosen travel there to commune with him. Below the mountain lies the fog-shrouded valley called Thakan'dar, site of the forge where the swords of Myrddraal are created..
The Prophecies of the Dragon state that Tarmon Gai'don will take place in part at Shayol Ghul, particularly the line:
"his blood (the Dragon's) on the rocks of Shayol Ghul, washing away the Shadow, sacrifice for man's salvation."

The Pit of Doom
The Pit of Doom is deep within the mountain Shayol Ghul in Robert Jordan's fictional Wheel of Time series. It is located in the Blight in the valley of Thakan'dar, the site of the Dark One's prison. A tunnel leads down to the fiery Pit of Doom where the barrier between the real world and the Dark One's prison is thinnest.
