Layers of the Abyss Each layer of the Abyss is different from all the others , the only apparent similarity being that the plane seems to try and inflict as much harm on travelers with each layer as possible . It might even be said that the plane is as varied and evil as the demons who inhabit it . Even deities dwell in the Abyss , like Umberlee and Merrshaulk , as well as Demon Lords that are mostly worshiped by one kind of species , such as Sess ' innek , the lord of lizardfolk who makes his home on the seventh layer , " Phantom Plane , " and Vaprak , patron of ogre s , ogre mage s and troll s . Vaprak is located on the layer of Shatterstone . Lolth used to occupy the 66th layer as the Demonweb Pits , but during the Silence of Lolth , she moved her domain from the Abyss to a plane of her own making , leaving the 66th layer a desolate wasteland , bereft of any life , mortal or otherwise . The uppermost layer of the Abyss , known alternately as the Plane of Infinite Portals , Pazunia , The Plain of Yawning Pits , The Palace of 1001 Closets , The Wasteland of Gates , etc . , is a barren wasteland of unrelenting heat and blistering winds , cut through by the infamous River Styx . Descriptions of Known Layers . Even with the demon armies , inhospitable terrain and unrelenting heat , this layer attracts travellers from across the planes . They seek the pits that dot the landscape – pits that lead to nearly every other layer of the Abyss itself . Thus , the first level becomes the entrance to all that is below . The largest of these pits is known as The Grand Abyss ( the interior of which is separately counted as Level 4 ) . Some pits are two way , others via astral magic only delve down . Some lead directly to another layer , others change destinations on a daily basis , some lead nowhere and are merely deep pits that contain creatures worse than the layers themselves , and it is these pits that sparked the Blood War , remnants of which sit strikingly alongside the pits . Iron fortresses which once held vast armies ( emptied and abandoned , as the Blood War continues deeper within the Abyss ) now hold the physical bodies of Demon Lords during astral travel . These demonic princes , lords , and queens have holdings on deeper layers . Most of the rulers of these fortresses are balors , mariliths , nalfeshnees , succubi , nabassus . advanced fiends , archdemons , and every once in a while , a lesser demon lord ( like Aldinach , Ahazu , Baltazo , and Laraie ) These creatures often wage war amongst each other , laying unrelenting seige to impregnable fortresses of dark magic and demon armies . There are a few landmarks within this barren warzone – The Town of Broken Reach ( ruled by a succubus called Red Shroud ) and a region of Lakes of Molton Iron , known to be the birth of many a weapon in the Blood Wars , guarded by demon armies . Beside this lake lies the Fortress of Ferrug . Other sites and fortresses of note include : Battle Not With Monsters , the Iron Fortress of Mithrengo , The Edge of Sanity , Raazorforge , Styros , Sonu - Aar ' ri , The Tower of Chiryn , The Dolorous Keep , Fortress of the Fallen Stair , and Gallowsgate ( ruled by the marilith Jaranda ) . This layer is under undisputed rule by Pazuzu , The Prince of the Lower Aerial Kingdoms . Demons pledged to him call the realm Pazunia . This layer is similar to the Elemental Plane if Air , in that there is no firmament , just an endless expanse of air , dotted with huge hives . These hives are home to gigantic wasp - like creatures with venom - dripping stingers known as ' The Drillers ' . There are two factions of Drillers , engaged in a war of their own . To the eye , they look identical , but they can tell each other apart , presumably be scent , or other means . One of these factions is ruled by the insect - demon Tharzax the Chattering Prince . Those entering the layer bring both the ire of the Drillers and the layer itself . If the drillers don ' t kill you , the realm will eventually convert adventurers into insect - like creatures that the Drillers use as slaves , fodder , or food for their larvae . Paladins are said to be immune to the transformation effect of the layer , but the demon insects are , in and of themselves , a serious threat to anyone not of their realm . This entire layer acts in the same way as the River Styx – in that entering this realm robs you of your memories of the realm – thus nobody can clearly confirm or deny what is in the Forgotten Land . The realm is said to be ruled by Zzyczesiya the Ungrasped . What we do know comes from accounts of undead creatures and constructs that have managed to visit and return . According to the journal of a long forgotten lich , the Forgotten Land is " a bare and desolate place inhabited only by the twisted manifestations of the memories it has stolen from those who set foot upon it . . . and the remains of those who set foot upon it and had forgotten how to leave . " This realm is comprised of a huge pit with no bottom and no top ( some say it is not ' bottomless , per se , but actually loops back on itself ) . Instead , the Grand Abyss is comprised of bridges and pathways carved into the walls , linking an infinite number of portals to other layers of the Abyss , and other Planes of existence all together . The layer is home to many flying and ground based demons and fiends . Shattered statues cover the paths and bridges , lending credence to the legend that the layer itself eventually petrifies anyone from the Prime Material Plane who strays here too long . It is also rumoured that many a demon prince make this layer their home , including Abaddon , ( wherein it is said that the bridges and pathways are lined with unnumbered locust demons ) , and further down , The Dark God Nastrond . Wormblood is a parched desert layer that eventually infects all visitors ( save for undead or constructs ) with a type of mummy - rot that slowly eats away at the body from the inside out . As such , there are simply no inhabitants of this layer , nor has any demon prince claimed the realm . This layer is ruled by the Great Mother Goddess of the Beholders . An underground realm not unlike the Underdark of prime worlds , the Realm of a Million Eyes ' tunnels are dotted with living eyes like the encrusted gems . These are supposedly the eyes of the Great Mother herself . As befitting her insane and chaotic nature , most of the the time she would simply observe and / or ignore visitors , and some other times she would attack them with eye rays . Haunting the tunnels are beholders and beholderkin , preying on each other , and visitors alike . Occasionally , the tunnels open up to massive caverns , and rumours persist that there is a cave the size of prime material planet , floating in the midst of it is a city built from the shell of a long dead beholder of unimaginable size . The city is known as Failing Sight . An unholy cathedral is built within the socket that was once the central eye of the dead abberation . This is the realm of Sess ' innek . The seventh layer of the Abyss is a vast swamp ruled by the demon prince Sess ' innek . Inhabited by lizard kings and various giant reptiles , the layer got its moniker " The Phantom Plane " because Sess ' innek had sealed off all the gates leading to this layer . No portals from the first layer reach Kearackinin , leading many to think the place no longer exists . The demon prince has strict control over what enter or leave the layer , as a result , Sess ' innek , unlike most demon princes , is less occupied with repelling invading hosts from rival demon lords . Realm of Volisupula the Flensed Marquesse . One of the few Abyssal layers that actually resemble a Prime Plane . No poison air , acidic water , or blood sucking grass . However , Skin Shedder is no less dangerous . The layer apparently corrupts the alignment of any who visit to chaotic and evil . Tieflings are reportedly immune to this effect ; then again , most tieflings are tend toward chaos and evil to begin with . It is said that a demon lord of corruption ( Volisupula the Flensed Marquesse ) made his home here . Whether he rules this layer or not is another matter . Discovered by a marid , much to his dismay , Burningwater appears to be an endless ocean of crystal clear refreshing water , but in reality is a very caustic acid . Inhabited by strange creatures that resemble twisted lobsters , shellfish , and armored fish , there seem to be no land mass in Burningwater . No known demon lords lay claim over the layer . So - called by its discoverer , a dwarf named Gorbin of the Clan of Normarrin of the Iron House . Gorbin didn ' t stay very long in this layer to even know what its landscape is . He was attacked as soon as he stepped out of the gate to the layer . It seems that the inhabitants on this level of the Abyss feed off each other and any visitor who happens to drop by . Gorbin got the impression that the layer is one endless feeding frenzy . Molrat is an underground realm , once again , not unlike the Underdark of prime worlds . And of course , with a perverted twist that only the Abyss can provide . The layer is eternally dark and all the fiends there have become haters of light . All have developed some form of blindsight or scent ability to compensate . In fact , Darkvision does not even work in Molrat . The layer itself seems to devour light , whether it is from mundane or magical sources . They work initially but become dimmer and dimmer until they are extinguished totally . It is not known what demon lords might rule this layer , but undoubtedly it appeals to those who prefer darkness . The 12th layer of the Abyss is a place where the tanar ' ri conduct necromantic magics and other vile projects for their Blood War with the devils of the Nine Hells . It is said a long time ago , twelve devas were captured by the fiends and sacrificed here . Their screams still echo and resound throughout the layer , not unlike the roaring madness of Pandemonium . Those without telepathic capabilities like the tanar ' ri would be hard pressed to communicate with one another because of the incessant shrieking . The layer itself is simple bare rock but the tanar ' ri had built titanic scaffolding too numerous to count which dominated the otherwise sparse landscape . Here , they built their necromantic Blood War engines - the foremost of which are the infamous Ships of Chaos . The Ships of Chaos are among the latest triumph concocted by brilliant and yet twisted minds of Blood War Generals . Built from bones , larvae , spirits , unidentified gunk , and yet more larvae , each ship is guided by the intelligence of a vrock demon melded into it . The Ships use the larvae trapped in their hulls as fuel as they glide across the Lower Planes . They are equipped with several offensive capabilities , including ballistae fitted in each " mouth " of the ship ' s two " heads " . Each ship also generates an entropic field which are particularly effective in disrupting the regimented ranks of the devils . This is the realm of Umberlee and Beshaba . The 13th layer of the Abyss is called Blood Tor . Supposedly once the site of a major incursion by the baatezu of the Nine Hells , it is now a realm of bad luck , misfortune , and evil fate . The layer , in general , consist of a vast plain with occasional stretches of deserts and sparse woodlands . A reddish ocean also dominate the layer , and it serves as home to the " bitch goddess " Umberlee . The Lady of Misfortune , Beshaba also makes this layer her home , her realm containing her totem animal , the black stag . The demoness Asima and her Vile Oracle has been sighted in Blood Tor as well . Two noteworthy fortresses can be found in the 13th layer of the Abyss : the now sundered fortress Malevolus , and Gallowshill , controlled by a powerful marilith named Taramanda . Her sister Alamanda was the consort and second in command of the balor who used to rule Malevolus before its fall . Realm of the Queen of Chaos Considered a launch point for the Blood War armies departing from the Abyss , the Courts of Mustering is a layer of an endless series of " tastefully " appointed courtyards and gardens , many of which are equipped with a planar portal which lead to one of the other Lower Planes . The one single elevated structure in the layer is the gem - studded tower of the balor Gurtheonir , an archdemon ( an advanced Balor with levels in fighter or blackguard ) . Gurtheonir watches , directs , and " musters " demonic armies in the courts and through the planar portals . However , many of the portals are also one - way trips , thus often making incursions originating from the layer suicide missions , but at the same time preventing the layer from being invaded . Several infinite ribbons of earth perhaps a mile wide ( wider in some area and frighteningly thinner in others ) wind through an equally infinite void of pure darkness , this layer is which its name implies . The Endless Graveyard is just that , a field of crypts , gravemarkers , mausoleums , pyres , gallows , mass graves , and worse . An endlessly raging storm surronds the earth ribbon / graveyard and those foolish enough to touch the storm has an equal chance of being transported to the Negative Material Plane , or dropped over the spikes of the Abyssal layer known as Impalator . A huge skull - faced moon leers over the layer , providing the only source of light , a soft malevolent luminescence , and one cannot help but get the feeling of being watched by the eerie satellite . All the ribbons of earth eventually meets at the center of the layer , here can be found the Palace of Skulls , the abode of the demoness who rules the Endless Graveyard . The one disturbing thing about the layer , if the layer is not weird enough , is that nothing stirs here . One would expect the undead to be lumbering through the land , instead , not a soul , damned or otherwise , which is native to the layer has been seen . . . almost if the layer has been abandoned , or in a perpetual state of waiting . Rumour has it that the demon lady who rules the layer has been betrayed by her minions to another Abyssal lord . So far , no one knows her ultimate fate , or what happened to the other inhabitants as well . So conjectured that the answers can be found in the Palace of Skulls , but no one has dared try to enter the Palace to find out . Realm of Abraxas the Unfathomable . This layer is a blasted wasteland punctuated by volcanic activity and sudden bursts of flame . The entire plane is engulfed in warfare carried on by petitioners . All who enter this plane are at risk of succumbing to its violent influences , causing them to enter the eternal battle that rages across the desolate landscape . Their war - cries and death - screams fill the air with the sounds of agony . They fight without resting or eating , and those who are not cut down eventually die of exhaustion . Not all of this plane is a complete wasteland . There are a few forests and some ruins that are reputed to hold a vast wealth of treasure . Places of Interest : 1 ) " the Pyramid of Destruction " This structure is located in the dead center of the plane , and is the residence of Sekmeth , Goddess of War and Fire and " lady of carnage " . The pyramid is constantly engulfed by a raging inferno . These flames seem to be fueled by the pyramid without consuming or damaging it . The pyramid is constantly surrounded by a bloody skirmish of petitioners , forced to fight one - another without purpose or organization . There are no sides in this battle , just every lost soul for itself . Sekmeth sits atop her throne at the apex of the pyramid , observing the never ending carnage around her . 2 ) Jerat 3 ) Wysval 4 ) The Sleeping Forest 5 ) The River Pyriphlegethon This layer is a place of desecrated churches , impure nunneries , heretical monasteries and vile shrines . All manner of good and lawful religious icons are on display here , though many are subtly twisted to have horrible new meanings . These houses of worship masquerade as temples to benevolent gods , but house nothing but blasphemy and corruption . This is where the Nalfeshee send those who have mislead and corrupted the faithful in life . The most insidious become the leaders of dark cults hidden under a facade of holiness , while others band together to form fanatical congregations that believe themselves to be holy and right . These petitioners return to their earthly forms , and often appear as holy and god - fearing people . All religion on this layer is ultimately controlled by the demons , as they use this plane to train corrupt clerics for the blood war . Monasteries and nunneries are kept on corrupt paths by infiltrating succubi and incubi . Glabrezus and mariliths dictate policy to church councils , and balors are revered as the messengers of the gods . The fiends build large constructs that resemble Solars to patrol the skies and randomly slay fanatical worshipers or whisk them away to take part in the blood war . Places of interest : 1 ) Library , Laboratory , and Monastery of Gresil This layer consists of a large void filled with plumes of smoke forever rising into the empty sky from the depths of a bottomless pit as if a series of large candles had just been blown out ( hence the name ) . Small landmasses float through this space , constantly being showered by the sparks and embers that shoot through the air at high velocity . These sparks rain down upon the floating islands , tormenting any living things with painful burns . This is a prison layer , and inmates are chained to the floating rocks and left at the mercy of the choking plumes of smoke , and showers of burning embers . There are few inhabitants of this layer other than those who are imprisoned here . Realm of Kardum , Lord of Balors . Complete Anarchy - This is the realm of the Babau . The ground is a swamplike sludge of mucous through which larvae , manes , dretches and far fouler beings swim . Most visitors to this realm end up forcibly recruited into the blood war . . . if they ' re lucky . The alternative isn ' t pretty . Home to Kostchtchie , demon Prince of frost giants , This layer is a flat and desolate landscape of snow and ice . The ice has been recorded to be several miles in thickness , though nobody knows just how deep it goes , or even if there is any solid land beneath . The atmosphere is extremely dark , lit only by a distant sun no brighter than the moons of most prime material worlds . This harsh plane houses few residents , let alone living beings of any variety . There are several frost giant villages spotting the landscape , all of whom revere Kostchtchie ( Treat as fiendish Frost Giants ) . The few other residents of this plane have sought refuge from its bitter cold winds by living in underground tunnels that descend deep into the ice . Places of interest : 1 ) The Glacier Citadel This is the home of Kostchtchie , where he is attended by a council of elite Frost Giant wizards . The citadel itself is carved into the ice , and lies between two tremendous spire - like mountains of ice . The Sleeping Realm The Realm of the Three Realm of the Abyssal lord Lissa ' aere the Noxious . The 27th layer is a realm of acidic clouds . This is the home of the gaseous lady Lissa ' aere . Her dwelling place is a swirling funnel of malevolence and poison muck . Aluminum fiends , nabassu , and vrocks make up her army , sallying forth only when the troops of hell go through Carceri and threaten the very borders of the Abyss ( or when one of her abyssal rivals trespass on her realm ) . No permanent solid ground exists on this layer . Clouds harden into ice occasionally , but they melt through when too many fiends cluster there to rest their weary wings . It is unknown what happens to those who plummet down into the lower reaches of the plane . Rumor has it that they are somehow consumed by the mistress of the layer , Lissa ' aere herself . This abyssal layer is dominated by a range of living mountains . The range has a triangular shape and contains many deep valleys amidst its spires . The mountains themselves appear to be breaking from the earth . They have the forms of thrusting arms , or writhing serpents . The mountains are alive , and have a sinister cunning . These monoliths of living stone are always eager to eat , squash , or otherwise slay travelers . In some of the valleys there are settlements of demons built just out of reach of the living mountains . These valley settlements are engaged in constant warfare with each other . All beings on this layer feel a strong compulsion towards dissent and murder . Places of Interest : 1 ) Zahhak , the ashen waste . This seemingly endless wasteland borders the mountains , and stretches out infinitely from their foothills . All who roam this desolate wasteland are quickly overcome with a deep sense of apathy . Many travelers in this area simply give up whatever quest they may be on and lay down to die , such is their lack of motivation . This is a demonic realm of the ghouls . The 30th layer of the abyss is a gigantic cliff side with no discernible base or top over which cascades a series of waterfalls of toxic goo ( causing hallucinations and vomiting if ingested ) . Some of these waterfalls feed into the River Styx where the slime is diluted by and eventually dissolves into the styx water . The slime constantly belches and gurgles out of foul smelling vents in the cliff face . The cliff face is an approximate 50 degree angle and covered in large spires of stone . The cliffs are made of a greasy brown mineral that crumbles easily between your fingers . The stone can even be eaten , although it provides no sustenance . The denizens of this layer include an array of undead fish that swim the rivers of mucous and jump up the toxic waterfalls . This layer is also home to a variety of slimes and oozes , and several varieties of demon , including yochlols and alkiliths . Places of interest : 1 ) Cligpha ' s lake , Cligpha makes her lair in a fetid lake of slime . There she sits in a throne - room of muscles and membranes atop a tower of organs and limbs . 2 ) The river Styx runs through this layer , and is a means of traveling to other layers or even other lower planes . Realm of Turaglas the Ebon Maw . One of the more hospitable and friendly layers of the Abyss is the 14th , A ' Shad ' lfohg . Perhaps the most visited and traveled by planars and primes , this layer earned the nickname " Abyssal Bazaar " . It is one of the largest center of trade in the Lower Planes , at least in the Abyss . A gathering place for merchants , smugglers , mercenaries . adventurers , assassins , cutthroats , Blood War " recruiters " and other assorted scums mad enough to do business in the Abyss , A ' Shad ' lfogh still lives up to its Abyssal nature in which no pushovers or weaklings need apply . The " bazaar " nearly dominates the entire layer , which on its own , resemble a typical Prime world except that it always seem to be dusk , and vegetation there are either sickly looking or healthy enough to eat you . No demon lord - lings exert their will over the layer , but several do lend " support " to the bazaar , thus ensuring its survival and existence , one of which is Graz ' zt . This plane is a vast emptiness filled with sinister mists ( Think Ravenloft ) and dancing aurora type lights . The air is filled with the sound of a thousand voices all whispering words of fey temptation and corruption . Most visitors to this plain quickly succumb to madness and enter a paranoid - schizophrenic and homicidal state , killing all they lay eyes upon . In some this manifests in a berzerker rage , while others simply go grimly to the slaughter with no show of emotion or remorse . It is said that this is the place where those who whisper words of spite and malice are sent to be tormented for all time . Places of interest : 1 ) " the obscene islands " These " islands " are gargantuan masses of writhing flesh . They consist of a mishmash of all manner of body parts , from fused mammalian limbs and demonic faces , to insect stingers and pincers . These fetid islands serve as a home to a variety of fiends , and even house several great fortresses made of bone or flesh . Azzagrat ( Rauwend , Shadowsky , Vhoorzzt being the respective levels ) spans the 45th , 46th and 47th layers of the Abyss . All three layers are connected by the River of Salt . The 45th layer appears as a windswept steppe with a continual gray sky . The 46th layer shines with it ' s own luminosity , projecting shadows upwards into the sky . The 47th layer glows under the light of a blue sun and flames of blue deal cold damage instead of fire damage . The chief city in this realm is Zelatar , which spans and connects to all three layers of Azzagrat . In it is Graz ' zt ' s palace , the Argent Palace . desert realm bordering both Azzagrat and Shaddonon . ( Dragon # 360 ) Called Skeiqulac , the Ocean of Tears , in Demonomicon ( 2010 ) . Realm of the demon lord Rhyxali , Princess of Shadow . realm of the Abyssal lord Alvarez the Purging Duke . This is the realm of Lolth and Selvetarm . Lolth ' s Demonweb is located on the 65th layer , from there access is possible to the 66th layer , where her realm and spider - ship is located . Hunting grounds of the demon lords Realm of Nocticula the Undeniable . This realm currently serves as the prison of several demon lords such as Shami - Amorae , Ansitif and Ebulon . This layer contains Sseth ' s realm , the " Viper Pit " and the Silent Temple , as well as the realms of Merrshaulk and Ramenos . Realm of Munkir and Nekir . Realm of Anarazel the Daring Darkness One of Obox - ob ' s former realms ( or Brine Flats or Abysm ) , home to Demogorgon - Prince of Demons , one of the highest - ranking demons in the abyss . It is a vast and savage wilderness filled with those that serve the Prince of Demons , various fiends , and dinosaurs . Reflecting the dual personality of its master , the Gaping Maw is a vast continent covered in a jungle and surrounded an endless ocean and brine flats . Rising from the sea are two towers , topped with enormous fanged skulls that make the fortress Abyss , where Demogorgon rules over his lair . Few can enter without succumbing to madness . Oceanic realm of the demon lord Dagon , Prince of the Depths . Realm of Ilsidahur the Howling King . Realm of Sch ’ theraqpasstt the Serpent Reborn .
