Bloody Bowels of Hell: Difference between revisions

* In the ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'' ''[[Planescape]]'' multiverse, some layers of the abyss are like this. [http://www.greyhawkonline.com/grodog/gh_abyss_planes.html Zegrentilandib]

** Layer six of the Nine Hells of Baator is Malbolge, formerly a boring place of boulders rolling down an eternal slope, ruled by the Hag Countess, who wasn't even a real devil. Then came the ''Fiendish Codex II'', when the Countess was replaced by Glasya ([[Daddy's Little Villain|daughter of Asmodeus himself]]), who did some remodeling. Now Malbolge is largely made up of its former ruler and sports distinctly fleshy terrain, with tall oily hairs instead of forests, lakes of bile and viscera, and ivory towers that used to be fingers or ribs. Special mention must also be made of a great mound at the layer's center called [[Womb Level|the Birthing Pit]].

** Then there's the realm of Torog, the King Who Crawls, god of imprisonment and torture. His capital city, as it were, is Gargash, [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|the Living Torture Den]]. The reason it looks so horrible is that it's ''literally'' the not-quite-corpse of the ancient primordial that crippled and cursed Torog in the first place. It's "tended to" by an army of Wrackspawn, themselves the twisted not-angel-but-not-demon remnants of Torog's other victims, who are eternally hacking, destroying and reshaping the entire city-sized horror simply so that Gargash doesn't regenerate enough to let it ''[[Sealed Evil in a Can|wake back up]]''.
