My campaign involves a certain ex-archduke who lost his position in the Nine Hells, and now his plan is to get summoned onto the prime material and turn it into a Tenth Hell he can rule over.
My character's a tiefling, cursed into being one despite her two human parents because said parents were one of the adventurers that turned him into an ex-archduke.
From what I can tell? They didn't. A good deal of the Baatorians screwed off to other realms, and Asmodeus came around and installed himself as ruler of the Hells. Now when Baatorians appear it's only the youngest amongst their ilk, or the ones who stuck around for unfathomable, alien reasons. The lords and everything else of note just kinda left the multiverse for some reason.
So it's essentially
>tfw to intelligent two stay in the multiverse
>Asmodeus's predecessor.
Allegedly.
>supposedly "unkillable"
>supposedly a challenge to Asmodeus himself
>not perfectly killable, just exiled to the Material Plane
>where he will run free among mortals and cause trouble
>spread rumours that maybe Asmodeus isn't supreme
>perhaps even encourage his enemies to reveal themselves in open rebellion
I mean, come the fuck on. Mephistopheles fell for this shit already, and Asmodeus utterly flattened the rebellion once it got started, almost flawlessly (he just lost Benesozia).
That's the thing.
The baatezu DIDN'T beat them. If they had, then the nature of Baator would have changed so that petitioners become lemures, while instead the process of transformation is done manually and the natural evolution of petitioners to Baator is nupperibos, the larval form of the ancient baatorians.
Asmodeus fell (from somewhere, anyway), his fall created Nessus and the Serpent's Coil, but in the war against the ancient baatorians, he did not win.
That's why the baatezu piss themselves in fear at the thought of entering some of the places in Baator where the ancient baatorians may yet remain. And why Asmodeus walks so very carefully around Baalphegor.
Exactly where they all went is unclear, the early history of the Nine Hells is sketchy for a reason. Some are still around. Some are perhaps in the ice beneath Cania, or in the Paralemental Plane of Ice. Others are in Maladomini, deep within its depths. Others are elsewhere. But they're still around, and that is perhaps the one big thing that legitimately worries Asmodeus.
He lost her before the harrowing and somehow that's legitimately sad. (If he'd lost her in the Harrowing I don't think even Baalphegor would stop him from laying out punishment.)
>described as reserved, coldly beautiful, polite, proper, loyal, terrifying to her enemies
I'd be sad too if the perfect Lawful Evil waifu had her soul obliterated.
>mfw this thread
Who knows, maybe Levistus imprisoned it somehow. Be extra ironic if he imprisoned her attached to him, so by locking him in ice Assman is impeding her return.
Assuming somehow Assman figures it out, and in the process of releasing her, Levi escapes, where does he flee to?
All I can tell is that they ended up subverted into the highly exploitable Devil reproductive system Ovatorium, which has amazingly, not been abused in artificial insemination or grafting projects yet by intuitive mad wizards who notice this as a flaw.
Graz'zt's plane, Levistus knows how to party, and so does Mr extra digits, and he's a very entertainable hospitable blood war aside, they'd -probably- get along.
Also, for some reason Graz'zt hates Malcanthet, but it's mentioned they have awesome sweaty sex contest combat when their aspects meet in the same vicinity, which is hilarious because the Queen of succubi's husband is also the Demon Lord of Cuckolds incest and sexual taboos. She also fucks Demogogron as his replacement bitch for the one dropped in that well who know's Monkey-Troubles True name or some other weakness he has I once found a picture of it, was amusing.
Also, succubi aren't the happy sex-fun times Demons you wish they were, they're the get you into a compromising position secretly psycho-bitch tear-off your cock because fuck you- kind of semen Demon, you'd count yourself lucky to actually fuck one, (And survive because level drain) let alone one who's good in the bedroom (What's considered good bedwork by the Sword and Sorcery age kind of sex is probably entry level as fuck for an user) Because their primary experience factor is usually the Hedonistic/Sadist part of lust and excess. There's sort of a divide between the ones who you know you can dick, and the ones who are just blatantly that one girl you've always wanted to strangle who you know is leading you on/out to stab you in the back because there's something TOO generic about them.
