Hellbound: The Blood War

Hellbound: The Blood War is a Planescape® AD&D 2nd-edition boxed set. It reveals the secrets of the Blood War, a conflict that has raged across the planes since the dawn of time.

"War is hell – literally. Since before mortals drew breath, the cunning baatezu and the fiery tanar'ri have struggled furiously to batter each other out of existence. The prize in their devastating war of annihilation: the Lower Planes. 'Course, when two unstoppable armies of evil collide, the tremors might leave the entire multiverse a smoking ruin. And woe be to any berk who stands against them – or simply gets in their way.

Created for both players and Dungeon Masters, Hellbound: The Blood War is a comprehensive resource on the infernal clash that has torn the planes apart for millennia. Though the war has spilled into many other Pʟᴀɴᴇsᴄᴀᴘᴇ™ products, the full story of the roaring conflict has never been detailed – until now."
