Avernus

Trundling, mashing, mincing, crushing, grinding, blasting, biting! Hear their peeling thunder, their roaring flames, their clicking, whirring, metallic melody, and know that the hellfire engines of Avernus are on the move!

— Edict in Elturel

Avernus is the first layer of the Nine Hells. It is ruled by Archduke Zariel. Avernus has been the primary battleground of the Blood War, the war between the Demons of the Abyss, and the Devils of the Nine Hells.
