Nessus, the ninth and deepest layer of the Nine Hells, is a realm of cosmic dread—a scarred ellipse of searing red stone adrift in a void beyond comprehension. Jagged chasms and fire-raked plains define its surface, where rivers like the Styx and Lethe leak into alien basins such as the Forgotten Lake, each drop steeped in memory and damnation. At its heart lies Malsheem, the largest city in the Outer Planes, a fortress-city buried deep within a trench, home to Asmodeus himself. Below Malsheem coils the Serpent's Coil, an abyssal wound where Asmodeus's true form festers, spawning devils from divine ichor. Legion after legion of infernal beings—pit fiends, amnizus, cornugons—stand ready at his command. Nessus is a plane of judgment, war, and unrelenting law, where betrayal is refined into art and eternal suffering enforces order. Tabjari, the archive of infernal law, holds copies of the ancient Pact Primeval, safeguarding Hell's claim to mortal souls.

A crimson wasteland stretches beneath a black sky, carved with bottomless trenches glowing from within. Firestorms coil across fractured stone as obsidian spires rise from pits like broken fangs. Deep below, Malsheem pulses with infernal light, its cyclopean towers buried in the trench. A red haze hangs in the air, thick with heat and power. Far beneath, a coiling rift oozes with divine rot—Asmodeus’s true prison and throne.
