Talk:Abyss

Imps are no demons. That is the second form of a devil, after the lemure. See also Fiendish Codex I and II Then you are writing, that there are no gods, who rule over parts of the abyss, but under this you mentioned Lolth. She was one, Bhaal was another, there are still some more chaotic evil gods, who have their own layers here. (Historicus 12:36, 8 April 2008 (UTC))


 * Historicus, to what are you referring here? Are you disputing a particular part of this article? If so, which part? Fw190a8 17:50, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I mean this Article. For example, The Demonweb Pits are Part of the Abyss, the 66. Layer, until the War of the Spiderqueen. After that, there ist still a old "image" of some sort, something like an echo, of the Pits. There are also the Realms of Orcus, Beshaba, Vaprak, Kali, Chemosh, Hiddukel and some other deities.

The little ones, which are the demon pendant to an imp is called quasit.

" Abyssal Petitioners

When demons steal souls from the Fugue Plane and bring them to the Abyss, those souls become petitioners called manes. A mane has pale white skin, cruel claws, sharp teeth, sparse hair and white eyes. The few manes that survive for many years are sometimes "promoted" to lesser demon types like imps, though they retain no memory of their former lives.

Manes have the following qualities:

* Additional Immunities: Electricity and poison. * Resistances: Acid and fire. * Other Special Qualities: Acidic vapor, no planar commitment * Acidic Vapor: When a mane is slain, it discorporates into a cloud of noxious vapor. * No Planar Commitment: Unlike most other petitioners, manes can leave the plane they call home.

The Abyss has no divine realms, and no true deities make their home there. However, a great many demon princes vie for power and territory on this plane. A few prominent beings are Demogorgon, Eltab, Yeenoghu, Orcus, Graz'zt, Baphomet and Kostchtchie. "

The picture?
Uhh, just chiming in. The picture for the Abyss is actually a picture of Baator. You can very clearly see Asmodeus and his Ruby Rod in the foreground. It's Avernus, probably.

Layers of the Abyss index
Anyone got some further reading? I’m okay if it’s homebrew, especially for the old AD&D sites like Canonfire. I request “Net AD&D guide to the Abyss” and some other links for people’s homebrew layers, please.
