Cavitius is a domain in the Burning Peaks cluster, once ruled by the demigod Vecna, named after his old citadel on the Quasi-Elemental Plane of Ash. Most of the domain is a desert which saps the life force of anyone who sets foot in it. The only settlement in the domain is Citadel Cavitius, where undead are leading citizens and the living have no rights.

Cavitius is constantly at war with Kas the Destroyer's domain of Tovag, but neither side ever gains an advantage. Cavitius may have survived after its master Vecna's escape from the Demiplane of Dread, but it is unclear who would be its new master, if the land has escaped simply dissolving into the Mists.
