Baator, the Nine Hells and the realm of devils, ruled by Asmodeus. A Forgotten Realms D&D adventure!


Author's Note: The air crackles with infernal energy, the sky a perpetual, blood-red storm. Jagged obsidian spires pierce the tormented landscape, casting long, writhing shadows that dance with the flames of the Styx. Avernus, the first layer of the Nine Hells, stretches before the boldest adventurers, a realm of war and ruin where fiends clash in endless conflict. War machines, fueled by tortured souls, rumble across the plains, leaving trails of destruction in their wake. Whispers of ancient pacts and forgotten gods echo through the desolate canyons, promising power and peril in equal measure. This is a land where survival demands both strength and cunning, where alliances are forged and broken in the blink of a fiery eye, and where the very ground trembles with the weight of infernal legions. Here, the soul is a commodity, and ambition burns hotter than the volcanic rivers that scar the land. The stench of brimstone and despair hangs heavy, a constant reminder of the price of power. Fortunes are won and lost in the blink of an eye, and the most cunning can rise to command legions of devils. The path to glory is paved with treachery and sacrifice, where every step may be the last. The Nine Hells beckon those with the courage to face its horrors, offering a chance to test their mettle against the ultimate evil. Will they succumb to the infernal temptations, or rise as a beacon of defiance in the heart of darkness? Hope you enjoy, the full 9-hells experience. I also added a small zone for the Prime Material Plane so you can Role Play your way into a 9-Hells adventure. Remember to manually change your location when you Planeshift. Have fun! Update: Added 8 of my own unique origin characters, 2 being devils who are struggling with their alignment. I thought it would make for fun storytelling.

Description

The River of Scorched Regret: A sluggish, black river flowing through a deep gorge, its banks lined with jagged iron spikes. The river is filled with the tears of the damned, boiled and blackened by the infernal heat. Souls are forced to wade through the river, their flesh seared and their minds tormented by the memories of their past regrets. Demonic ferries, crafted from rusted iron and bone, transport the damned across the river, their skeletal forms a constant reminder of mortality. The river's currents are treacherous, pulling the damned towards the churning depths where they are consumed by the boiling tears. The air is thick with the acrid smell of burnt flesh and the bitter tang of regret.

Appearance

The river appears as a viscous, black liquid, bubbling ominously with a sheen of heat. Jagged iron spikes protrude from the banks, and skeletal ferries glide silently across the surface, their passengers eternally tormented.
