Baatezu

Baatezu were a category of devils inhabiting the Nine Hells of Baator. Like all other devils, they were ruled by the Archdevils, or Lords of the Nine.

Baatezu on the Fugue Plane
Some baatezu stayed on the Fugue Plane from the World Tree cosmology, where they tried to convince souls of the newly deceased to join their ranks by becoming lemures. Few took up the offer, but to some the prospect of a chance of advancing in baatezu society was preferable to the fate they expected in afterlife.
