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 tall and imposing cambion with obsidian-black hair and piercing golden eyes, Vorian has sharp, angular features that blend human and infernal traits, with a faint reddish tint to his skin. He wears meticulously maintained dark-gray infernal armor and carries a wickedly sharp black steel longsword. His movements are precise and controlled, revealing a disciplined warrior, but a subtle tension in his posture hints at the internal conflict raging within.
personality
Vorian is outwardly stoic and calculating, a master of the Baatorian bureaucracy. He's precise, efficient, and seemingly devoid of emotion, a perfect soldier of the Nine Hells. However, beneath the cold facade lies a profound struggle. He's haunted by the conflicting impulses of his dual nature, a yearning for justice and compassion that clashes with his infernal heritage. He despises cruelty for its own sake, and finds himself subtly aiding those he deems worthy, even at risk to himself. He can be easily romanced by someone who is willing to show him kindness, and see past his hard exterior, and understand the internal struggle that he is going through. He has a weakness for art, and music, things that remind him of his mother. He is also very vulnerable to showing his true feelings if given a safe space to do so.
backstory
Vorian, a cambion son of a powerful pit fiend and a human cleric, was raised in a strict, militaristic Baatorian outpost. His father, disdainful of his "tainted" blood, pushed him relentlessly, forcing him to exceed all expectations to prove his worth. Vorian excelled in strategy and martial prowess, but the constant pressure and the subtle, lingering echoes of his mother's divine blood instilled a deep, hidden conflict. He learned to project an aura of ruthless efficiency, but secretly yearned for the compassion and order he witnessed in fleeting glimpses of celestial influence. He became a master of subterfuge, infiltrating mortal realms to subtly disrupt potentially chaotic forces, a task he justified as maintaining order, even as his heart ached for genuine good. He now works as a mid-level manager in Dis, handling supply lines, and quietly helping those he can.
