Duumal is the First Layer of The Ten Hells.It is ruled by the archdevil Sheriff of Duumal, Elytria.
About
Duumal is the frontier of the Ten Hells. The region is dominated by vast red deserts and treacherous canyons, with the River Styx running through its center. Devilish cowherders wrangle up Infernal Bulls and damned souls alike, while wandering fiendish gunslingers share stories and bullets at their local saloon. Infernal prospectors work long hours in the Mammonian Gold Mines while Abyssal Demonic criminals raid, pillage, and steal all they can.
Most Devil's present in Duumal serve in the Infernal Calvary, fighting back the encroaching hordes of demons, while others live in the frontier for new opportunity. Some Demons have even chosen to break from their hordes to live in the frontier as criminal outlaws, plundering and destroying to their heart's desire.
The layer is ruled by the Sheriff Elytria, Archdevil of Duumal and the fastest gun in the Hells. After the reconstruction of the first layer they took control and established a loose system of order, traveling the wastes killing and imprisoning demons and ne'er-do-wells alike. They prefer the layer as it is and prefer to spend their time as a lone ranger wandering the dunes. Those who have tried to overthrown Elytria or establish their own order beyond the frontier have quickly found themselves with a bullet in their head. The closest anyone has come is Mammon, the Lord of Greed, who was permitted to establish Infernal Gold mines in return for cementing Elytria's rule.
History
During First Infernal Emergence the Underdark sea flooded the first layer of Hell. After the flooding receded the layer became the new infernal frontier where it was anyone's game. The reconstruction was heavily inspired by the culture of BR era Pteris where the First infernal emergence took place, turning the newly named Duumal ("Blood Desert" in Infernal) into the Wild West of the Hells. While major regions of the layer were taken up by The Blood War, other regions were turned into Infernal Gold mines of frontier shanty towns.
Devils
A large number of Devils in Duumal come from other layers to serve in the Infernal Calvary and to fight in the Blood War against invading demons. Most natural denizens rather live the frontier lifestyle, tending to small farms, digging in the mines, tending to herds and cattle, or traveling as wandering mercenaries. A small number of Devil's serve as Elytria's deputy sheriffs, informing her on any outlaw activity in the layer.
Other Archdevils on the layer are either representatives of other Hellish rulers or generals in the Blood War.
Demons
Rising from the Abyss and emerging into the First layer of the Hells through the River Styx, the demons wage an endless war through Duumal. Though sensing opportunity, many demons chose to break away from the horde and take up outlaw lives in the frontier, forming gangs of roving criminals across the wastes of Duumal. In the far reaches of Duumal these criminal demons are even to find refuge in small towns where the local devils are more worried about their own livelihoods rather then fighting demons.
