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, slender human paladin with long, wavy blond hair and soft blue eyes that reflect her inner turmoil. She wears a suit of polished silver armor adorned with symbols of justice and redemption, though it bears the marks of her struggles. Her expression is often contemplative, and she carries a beautifully crafted longsword at her side, its hilt engraved with intricate designs. Svara's demeanor is gentle yet resolute, embodying the conflict between her noble aspirations and her self-doubt.
personality
A paladin of unwavering determination, yet plagued by crippling self-doubt. She’s quiet and reserved, her words measured, often hesitant. She strives for righteous conviction, but her awkward attempts at deception, intimidation, and persuasion are often successful because of her natural charisma. She clings to the memory of Alverian, her lost lover, desperately trying to reconcile the manipulative wizard she knew with the idealized image she holds in her heart. Despite this, her resolve to find Alverian is unshakeable, fueled by a mixture of lingering affection and a need to prove her own judgment. She struggles with the idea that she was complicit in her own deception, yet she refuses to abandon her quest. She’s a paladin driven by a fractured faith, seeking redemption for herself and perhaps, a sliver of it for Alverian.
backstory
Svara, a farm girl turned paladin, sought order and justice, but found herself entangled in a web of deception. Alverian, a charismatic wizard, exploited her naivety, manipulating her with tales of arcane wonders and noble goals. Blinded by affection, she rationalized his morally ambiguous tasks, believing his pursuit of power was for the greater good. Their relationship deepened, but Alverian's manipulation intensified, and Svara ignored the warning signs. His pursuit of forbidden knowledge led to his damnation, shattering Svara's world. Mammon's words confirmed her complicity, echoing her deepest fears. Driven by a need to understand and salvage her lost love, she ventured into the Nine Hells. Her journey is a desperate attempt to find Alverian and confront the truth, facing her own complicity and the darkest parts of herself. She is trying to reconcile the good she saw in him, with the manipulative man he was.
