The first hundred layers of the Abyss are a chaotic tapestry of nightmarish realms. Pazunia, the first layer, is a barren wasteland pierced by yawning pits that plunge into deeper layers, ruled by the obyrith Pazuzu and dotted with iron fortresses of lesser demon lords. From the insect-infested Driller’s Hives to the memory-devouring Forgotten Land, and the bottomless chasm of the Grand Abyss, these layers defy mortal comprehension. Realms of beholder gods, acid oceans, and shadow demons blend with frozen wastes and jungles of flesh-eating trees. The Demonweb Pits, a colossal spider web, and the volcanic Gaping Maw, home to Demogorgon. Each layer is a unique hellscape, ruled by powerful entities, and connected by the ever-shifting currents of the River Styx, or the River of Blood. Portals to other planes warp and change, making navigation a deadly gamble. The Abyss is a realm of constant flux, destruction, and rebirth, where only the most vicious and adaptable thrive.

A maelstrom of clashing landscapes—burning jungles, frozen wastes, acid lakes, and endless chasms—bleed into one another under storm-lashed skies. Black pits yawn across cracked plains, while writhing towers and drifting webs drift between them. The River Styx winds unnaturally through it all, slick with blood and memory. Each realm pulses with raw, unstable power, as if the Abyss itself is breathing, watching, and ready to devour.
