The Hells were created over time by [[Asmodeus]], starting with one layer, and slowly building up to the 10 layers that exist. Each layer is ruled by a powerful [[Archdevil]].
The Hells were created over time by [[Asmodeus]], starting with one layer, and slowly building up to the 10 layers that exist.  


The layers of Stygia and Cania were on the list of "possible convergence planes", noted for having the possibility of cross contamination with eldritch powers of the [[Underdark Old Ones]].

== Layers ==
== Layers ==
=== The First Layer, [[Duumal]] ===
'''Duumal''' is the top most layer of the Ten Hells. Originally known as '''Avernus''', during the [[The_Infernal_Emergence#The_First_Emergence_(181-207_BR)|First Infernal Emergence]] the layer was flooded and destroyed, being rebuilt as '''Duumal''', the new Infernal frontier by the Devil's returning from Wild West Era [[Pteris]]. It is ruled by the archdevil sheriff of Duumal, [[Elytria]], the fastest gun in the Hells.


=== The Second Layer, Dis ===
=== Stygia ===
The layer of '''Dis''' is a flat and barren plane. It is home to the [[Iron City of Dis]] which takes up a majority of the layer. It is ruled by the powerful [[Archdevil]] [[Dispater]]
'''Stygia''' is the fifth level.


=== The Third Layer, Minauros ===
=== Malebolge ===
The Third Layer of Baator, '''Minauros''' is an endless bog of vile pollution and decay. It is ruleded over by the greedy and wealth Archdevil [[Mammon]].


=== The Fourth Layer, Phlegethos ===
==== Archdevil ====
'''Phlegethos''' is a flaming hellscape of fire and magma. It is ruled by [[Fierna]].  
[[Glasya]] was the biological daughter of [[Asmodeus]], and served as the ruler of Malebolge until her promotion to ruler of Nessus. [[Callum]] was a barbed devil who served Glasya in her time as Malebolge's ruler.

'''Nessus '''(also called '''Bolgia''') is characterized by flaming landscapes and rivers of lava emerging from limitless plains of volcanoes. Jagged rocky peaks and steep drops into molten lakes provided a treacherous terrain for any creature without the ability to fly. For this reason, almost every resident of Nessus could fly safely around the flaming land.

The Archdevil of Nessus sits on a throne in the middle of a towering, raging, fireball known as '''[[Malsheem]]. '''Malsheem contained millions of [[souls]] reaped from the [[Material plane]] in a labyrinth of chasms and peaks guarded by Asmodeus' best armies.

=== The Ninth Layer, Nessus ===
'''Nessus '''(also called '''Bolgia''') is characterized by flaming landscapes and rivers of lava emerging from limitless plains of volcanoes.

=== The Tenth Layer, Hellmar ===
== Hellmar ==
The original iteration of Quelmar, given to the gods to [[Asmodeus]] per a loophole in [[the Pact Primeval]]. Though the gods had all but given up on Quelmar after Asmodeus took his claim, private consort with surviving members of the realm convinced the gods to "reboot" the Material Plane, allowing Asmodeus to continue his rule over the original.

=== New Citadel ===
[[Asmodeus]], after leaving Nessus to rule Hellmar, built a massive citadel of magma and steel for his new seat as archdevil over the realm. The citadel was built alongside a new type of devil known as an '''Air Siren, '''who''' '''sing a horrid song so unholy that the air in the chamber itself flees, creating an unbreathable vacuum in whatever room the siren sings in.
