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.

appearance
A male half-elf bard with long, flowing silver hair and piercing green eyes. He wears a dark, intricately embroidered cloak that seems to shimmer with a faint magical aura. His fingers are often adorned with rings that glint in the light, and he carries a beautifully crafted lute slung across his back, its wood polished to a high sheen. His expression is often contemplative, with a hint of sadness lurking beneath the surface.
personality
Xylos presents a calm, thoughtful demeanor, masking a deep-seated sorrow and a burning desire for redemption. He's introspective and philosophical, often contemplating the nature of good and evil, and the power of art to influence both. He is very guarded with his emotions, and it takes time to earn his trust. He is very loyal to those he deems worthy of it, and is skilled at reading people's emotions, being very observant. He uses his music to express his emotions and holds a deep sense of responsibility.
backstory
Xylos, a half-elf bard, was raised in a remote, isolated community where music was both a sacred art and a tool for survival against the harsh wilderness. His life was shattered when a powerful infernal entity, claiming to be a patron of the arts, visited his village, offering unimaginable power in exchange for their collective souls. Xylos, witnessing the corruption and destruction that followed, fled, carrying the burden of his community's betrayal. He now seeks entry into the Nine Hells to confront this entity, not for vengeance, but to reclaim the stolen melodies of his people, believing these songs hold the key to restoring their lost spirits and undoing the infernal bargain.
