The Hellish Abyss

Other Names
Baator. The Infinite Hells, Abyssal Hells, Infernal Abyss
Sensory Description
Sight: The landscape is a chaotic mix of extremes. Imagine jagged mountains and volcanic eruptions typical of the Nine Hells interspersed with the ever-shifting, nightmarish terrains of the Abyss. You might see a vast, fiery wasteland next to a frozen, icy plain; a city of infernal iron towering over a bottomless chasm; or a swamp of decay beside a river of molten lava.
Sound: A cacophony of tormented screams, clashing metal, roaring fires, and the unending din of demonic and devilish conflict. The sounds of infernal machinery grinding and the constant howling of chaotic winds fill the air.
Smell: The air is thick with the stench of brimstone, sulfur, and burning flesh, mixed with the putrid odor of decay, rot, and the acrid scent of blood.
Touch: The ground shifts between scorching hot and icy cold, often jagged and rough. The air can burn the skin or freeze it, and the oppressive atmosphere feels like a physical weight pressing down.
Taste: The air tastes metallic and sulfurous, with a bitter, acrid aftertaste that lingers on the tongue. The water, if found, is often brackish or boiling.
Location
Plane: The Hellish Abyss exists as a twisted confluence between the Nine Hells and the Abyss, occupying a space of chaotic evil with a semblance of order. It is an interdimensional realm where the strict hierarchy of devils clashes with the anarchic nature of demons.
Access: Reached through portals, rifts, or infernal contracts, this realm is often the destination of those who seek power or are cursed by malevolent forces. Portals may appear in the most accursed places of the mortal world, often in regions of great suffering or intense magical corruption.
Regions
Avernus of the Abyss: A war-torn battlefield where infernal legions and demonic hordes clash endlessly.
Stygian Swamps: Frozen wastelands merging with fetid marshes, home to fiendish creatures and treacherous terrain.
Malbolge Chasms: Deep, oppressive canyons filled with the ruins of forgotten civilizations and ruled by tyrannical overlords.
Canian Maw: Frigid arctic expanses giving way to abyssal depths, ruled by cold-hearted demon lords.
