The hells

The hells is a common name associated with the Agronach plane- a collection of 13 layers of unique environments serving as a home for the cruel afterlives of the damned as well as homes to most fiends. The astral god, the father god, is Agronach, the 13-Faced Devil. He is much like a volcano, in that for the most part, he is hands off from reality, instead letting figure heads rule the 13 layers and in fight between each other. Occasionally, he will awaken, either to cause disruption in the hells or to seek other planes to bother for no reason other than to cause annoyance. Agronach, the astral god, is described as a large creature, with 13 unique faces on his body. The primary one is located where one expects, although it is somewhat empty apart from a verticle line likely a mouth, and small yellow eyes. He also has two large horns that connect above his head. Across the rest of his body, there are faces plastered, although they are just faces, not heads. He is long and strong, with large claws for feet and hands. he has a long prehensile barbed tail. His skin is a sickly green, but on his horns, claws, tail, and legs, a darker blue.

The 13 planes are unique, and have their own leaders. While some of these leaders may claim themselves to be astral gods, they most certainly are not. They are tentative figures who have slight control over each layer.

* The first plane is known as Orrerynn. This is the layer of fire and torture, and the most recognized and researched of the layers. Most people who's afterlife is in the hells are here, being tortured for their entire sentence. The fiends of this plane are cruel and creative, and usually are wrapped in fire, chains, and or spikes. The leader is Elgozar, a creature made of magma and blood, who usually has the face of a beautiful woman and the body similar to a griffon. She delights in the screams of anguish, and is particularly cruel, even for a fiend. Occasionally, Elgozar is worshiped by torturers and sadists.
* The second plane is known as Shaerriphere. This is the layer of acid and poison. It is full of swamps and beautiful plants, and cities which are dangerous to live in without any known knowledge. The cursed few that do not know are seen boiling alive for all of eternity in the swamps, or living in agony while they die slowly from a painful poison, but never actually find death. The creatures of this plane are more secretive, and prefer to keep their distance. They are more likely to avoid conflict, and usually only act when provoked- although they can be very sensitive to provocation. They usually look like beasts or plants of poison, or covered with stingers, fangs, or skin that leak poison and acid. The leader is Mug'Thuck. A frog like creature with a scorpion tail. He leaks acid and poison from his skin, and moves slowly most of the time. He is worshiped by poisoners, herbalists, and alchemists who seek a more potent and evil mixture.
* The third plane is known as Jazall. It is a layer of ice and solitude. It seems to be a frozen wasteland that goes on infinitely, with cities and populace frozen over or fallen to shambles, The cold is piercing, and cannot be cut by anything. The fiends here are also solitary, but eager to attack or hunt anyone they spot. The deaths are prolonged for their amusement, but they are usually far below the intelligence as other devils. This means they are not necessarily doing it out of a sick sadism, but some animistic boredom. They are usually large, hairy, and intimidating. The souls and people sent here are cursed to wander the cold endlessly until they are hunted and killed, in which they have to do it again. Hardly ever meeting another soul. The head of this plane is Motara, a mindless white dragon who fights to kill. Sometimes, it takes the form of a corpse carrying some item that someone might want to trap souls. Although it is never good at taking the form of a body, and always seems a bit off. Motara is not worshiped, but feared and revered as a beast of terrifying destruction- especially the few times it has escaped the hells to hunt. It do not necessarily lead, but its force is so opressive that it kills any being of power that could compare to it, and keeps the realm as frosty as it is.
