A Guide to the Guides of Hell

Finding info on the nine layers of Hell is a bit tedious. Here's what I've come up with so far (so its a work in progress), while I was trying to dig up info for this publication: To Hell With You.

*Asterisks indicate novels, the rest are D&D publication.

Specific Layers

  1.  Avernus
    • Elminster in Hell (novel)
    • Well of Worlds (Planescape - ADD 2e)
    • Descent into Avernus (5e)
    • Fire in the Blood* (a small scene in Avernus, with the party interacting with Tiamat).
  2. Dis
  3. Minauros
  4. Phlegethos
    • The Adversary* (a couple minor descriptions)
