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.

Description

Citadel Coldsteel, Geryon's hidden steel fortress, chills Stygia beyond its norm. Once concealed underwater, it now rises from the icy core, an anomaly of freezing metal. Howling winds carry tormented screams, and unpredictable portals flicker around its perimeter. The citadel's coldness permeates, an unnatural chill even amidst Stygia's frigid expanse. Its sudden emergence from the ice, coupled with the eerie winds and warping portals, makes Coldsteel a terrifying enigma. Geryon's secret stronghold, a steel monolith, stands as a chilling testament to his power, its presence warping the very fabric of Stygia's frozen landscape.

Appearance

A towering monolith of freezing metal, the citadel glistens with frost and is surrounded by swirling snow and ice. Its structure is both imposing and eerie, with jagged edges that seem to pierce the sky, while the air around it shimmers with the distortion of warping portals.
