The Abyss

The Infinite Layers of the Abyss is the birth place of the demons. A chaotic evil universe unto itself with uncountable layers of infinite variety connected haphazardly.

The Abyss's place in the cosmology of the universe is always shifting, and the nature of the plane remains fairly constant: a violent, malevolent place where the strong survive on the backs of the weak, and the landscape itself tortures the mind and body of all who dare to pass.

Geography

Each layer of the Abyss has its own characteristics, which are as varied as the demons themselves. All types of terrain, atmosphere, weather, gravity, and material composition are represented in the myriad layers, from empty voids filled with crystal bridges, to blasted landscapes flowing with magma.

Demon lords that grow to a significant level of power have more control over their respective layers, and will fashion them to their liking, often reflecting the lord's aspects and personality.

Known layers

Although the exact number of layers is always changing, some are anchored in place by demon lords, or for reasons beyond understanding.
