Talk:Avernus

Hello! Would phrases or sayings used by devils in Avernus be something worth adding to this page? There are a couple Avernus-specific phrases used by devils in "Elminster in Hell": "Avernus welcomes all," (p317) and "Fires of the pit!" (p332). Jeremy Grenemyer (talk) 03:43, May 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * Sure. Just about everything is worth adding somewhere. :) You could put them in a ==Culture== section. Since these are devils talking, you could also add those sayings to the Infernal language page, perhaps under a ==Sayings== section. — BadCatMan (talk) 09:07, May 18, 2013 (UTC)

Summary of edits: Revised introduction to past tense form. Added a Culture Section with sayings and now we have some references for this page finally. :) Jeremy Grenemyer (talk) 06:47, May 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * Looks like a good start to me. :) — BadCatMan (talk) 07:25, May 24, 2013 (UTC)

Why is this entire article in the past tense?
Saying that Avernus was everything that it is is extremely confusing if this is your landing page for "what is Avernus"

The D&D fandom wiki does not use this verbiage, so it further creates a very strange ambiguity across sources. – Special:Contributions/68.61.46.28


 * You may have noticed the entire Forgotten Realms Wiki is in past tense. It's our policy to use past tense and be separate from the ever-evolving timeline and changing details of the Realms and D&D. It's a narrative tense, just like in most novels, and suits our in-universe point of view. Most other D&D wikis have out-of-universe, real-world points of view, so they don't have to cover a constantly changing depiction. BadCatMan (talk) 07:40, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
