Avernus

Avernus is one of the layers of the nine hells that first appeared in the book The Autistic Hero 2: Worlds Clashing. It is one of the nine hells in the Great Wheel of cosmology and is also the layer of hell where Sinners were sent by god to be damned. This is a very common place that souls go and It is also the location of the River Styx. In the second Autistic hero book Lucifer Tells of his old project he was working on while in the first layer of hell which was the creation of the Treacherous Nine which were a group of determined Tieflings who inhabited 1 layer per person with the soul purpose of training enough to break the barrier holding everyone in hell. In Avernus, Xenith Stephenson after killing the Red Dragon of Revelations was able to go in via the crater It left and Xenith's new task was to find the Treacherous First and get him to Lucifer for filling in of what happened.

## Locations

#### Castle of Asmodeus:

Castle of Asmodeus is the location where Tolup the Morph Slime finds the lair of the Treacherous First also known as Asmodeus. It is here that it is found out that Asmodeus much like some of the other once Semi-good characters is possessed by primordial anger and upon entry is when He and a group of Alpha Hellhounds attacked the group and it took some quick thinking from Scala-Tsugu to cave in the ceiling of the castle and this crushed the Alpha Hellhounds leaving only Asmodeus the Treacherous first to deal with. During the aftermath, Asmodeus was Roundhouse kicked out of Avernus by Brutus the Brutal after he got distracted with Tolup and that caused Asmodeus the Treacherous First to encounter his Father/Master Lucifer who rid him of the virus with an infernal backhand. Currently the castle lay in ruins but occasionally Asmodeus the Treacherous First comes there to reminisce about it.

#### Lair of The Revelations:

The Lair of The Revelations is the place that the Red Dragon of Revelations was in during the more modern times after its first defeat and before anyone of our heroes enters hell it breaks out in new jersey and then causes havoc. The lair itself is a 250 meter deep hole with Obsidion making up the entire hole's exterior. Around the hole are several Biblical demons which were under the influence of the virus and thus were slain accidentally when the dragon flew out.

#### The River Styx:

The River Styx is a large river of what seems to be blood in which devils and demons come out of after being killed by non-magical means. The Styx extends to each layer of hell and it is made of a mysterious fluid which isn't actually blood but rather a new liquid called Demon Fluid which are liquid like and can generate themselves into demons and devils again once their dust enters the river. Some of the creatures that lived in this river in general were Black Goblin Sharks and Styx Dragons which did manage to startle The Happy Time Fun Group and almost killed Piercer and Stygian Linnorms which managed to take the head off Xenith Stephenson. The River Styx is not a good place to take a dip and it seemed to effect Xenith with a strange unseen effect which is called Styxian Fluvium which seemed to hurt him for however longer the Demon Fluid stayed on his skin.

## Trivia

Asmodeus instead of being the lord of Nessus is in fact edited to where now Asmodeus rules over the Avernus layer.
