The core ofthis book isa special baich of new monsters taken straight from the Pit. Legions ‘of Hell gives you enough devils and infernal nasties to populate an entire campaign and challenge characters ofall levels. You'll in ‘everything from lowly grants to fallen celestial to porserfal banteza nobles Before the litany of evil begins, however, we should pause to say a few words about Hell itself and the eommon powers of devilkind Hell: The Basics How eould Hell be any worse when life alone is such ad Religion ‘When lawl evil mortals de, their souls goto Hell, Devils thus tempt ‘mortals inthe hopes of changing theiraligaments to lyf evil, Every mortal fooled is another soul condemned, There are few places inthe mul than Hell, Hell looks like an inverted mountain, the cosmic opposite of the peak of Heaven, Known for both geographic and mtaphoriel reasons asthe Pit, Hell is divided into nine circles that range From raging infernos to joy wastes. A powerfl arch devil uleseach eirele, and al the devils in Asmodeus, the Lord oF the Ninth Circle, King pay homage to ff Hell and the Adversary of al that is goad, Inberif, the lords of the nine circles ane as follows: Baal, Lord of the First Cirele: This fierce devil {pietiredl on the front cover ofthis book) comamands The largest aemics in Hell. While this has alarmed the other lord in the ‘ast, the truth is that he expends his eneraies fighting the external Foes of Hell, namely demons and celestial. Dispater; Lord of the Second Circle: Dispater is a cunning schemer and conservative by nature. He rarely leaves Dis the mightiest ity in Helland one that us never been taken by an enemy army, While Dispater is slaw to reaet and hedges his bets, he acts with overpowering force onee his mind is made wp. Mammon, Lord of the Third Cirele: Mammon is 2s power hhungry as they come, He is unsatisfied with his domain and so constantly Schemes to conguer another circle of Hell His armies have clashed with hose of Belial on many occasions, but nether Jord has been able to gain the advantage. ‘Belial, Lord of the Fourth Cirele: Only Asmodeus is beter Har than Betial. Originally a powerful celestial Belial fell rom gracein the distam past, Lords like Dispater and Mephistopheles sill teat ‘Belial as an upstart, since he was not bor ofthe baste race. Since Belial’ armies ae strong and he is s slippery asa green slime, the Lord of the Fourth Cizele continues to stand strong. Leviathan, Lord of the Fifth Cirele: In foxm Leviathan isthe ‘most enormous sea monster the multiverse has ever known, Literally miles long, Leviathan needs a domain a large as the Fith rele to house his massive bulk. Some scholars say that Hell is Leviathan’ prison and that countless worlds will perish if he lever escapes. His appetite for ‘mortal souls i legendary. Lilith, Lord of the Sixth Circle: Many devils have underestimated Lilith because she is Female. None have lived to earn their mistake Lilith is asalluring a silk and as hard as sel. Whileshe schemes in Hel, she dreams of power greater than the Pit can bold Beelzebub, Lord of the Seventh, Crete: Known asthe Lord of Flies, Boclzcbul isa fallen costal ike Belial, He and Mephistopheles hate each other deeply and they have bet al war on and off for millenia, Asmodus lets them ‘Because it keeps them too busy 10 plot against him. Mephistopheles, Lord ‘of the Eighth Circle: Mephistopeles viows himself as . the heir apparent of ae Hell Afterall, who is loser to Asmadeus than ‘ne? Once he has dealt with Beelzebul (and he's sure that he will cal with him), Mephistopheles will be ready to {ake the erown...whether Asmodeus will allow it or not Asmodeus, Lord of the Ninth Cirele: Uncounted volumes have been writen about the King of Hell she merely a devil like the ther lords, ors hea being ofa higher order? He hasbeen the Adversary for as long as anyone can remember (and out on the planes, there are those whose memory reaches back to the din of lime). Some whisper that he is fallen god, more ancient and more powerful than ean possibly be imagined, Others say he isa devil true, but simply the cleverest oF tat despicable race, Whatever the truth, none can deny that he has defied Heaven from time immemorial and destroyed all pretenders o his throne.
