Delayed Map Release
Hey friends,
I had an unexpected loss of a sibling. Due to dealing with all that, our next map, Malsheem City Gate, will be pushed back a week to the 19th.
Thank you all for your interest & support in this little mapmaking journey through the hells!

Highlight: Aid From Below
Through the charred remains of a burnt-out forest, a group of twelve centaurs pulls weathered carts behind them. The carts creak and groan under the weight of their cargo—souls they believe they’re saving from the torments of the Nine Hells. Their faces are worn, but their determination is clear.
These centaurs are driven by a deep sense of duty, a misguided belief that they are rescuing innocent souls trapped in eternal suffering. They speak of a noble cause, a quest to free those ...

Highlight: The Angelic Villa
Once a place of beauty, now sinking into the filth of the Nine Hells, the Angelic Villa is home to a handful of angels who never chose a side. They aren’t evil, but they’ve lost their way—lingering in a place that was never meant for them, their purpose long forgotten.
Uriel, their weary leader, welcomes travelers to dinner, eager for stories of the world beyond. The meal is more than just food—it’s a test. Every course comes with a question, and the wrong answer may lead to a...

The Demonwing: Foresection, The Glass Room
This towering, multi-level chamber in the Demonwing is pure chaos—a mix of fire, monsters, and deadly traps designed to make any fight a nightmare. Personally, I've led the adventure down the path of finding Baphomet making his way to the gates of Malsheem by using the Demonwing as a traveling level of the Abyss itself.
🔥 Pillars of Flame: Six burning columns stretch from floor to ceiling, dealing 2d6 fire damage to anyone w...

The Infernal Knowledge of the Oasis Library
The Oasis Library holds knowledge most mortals could only dream of—and probably shouldn’t trust. Tomes of bodily perfection, 9th-level spells lost to time, divine secrets, and even the means to break infernal contracts fill its shelves.
Some spells grant terrifying power: hurricanes of death, continent-long winters, volcanic eruptions, and magic that steals years from others to prolong the caster’s life. Clerics and druids ca...

Elihandrel, Arch-Magister of the Oasis
In the depths of the Nine Hells, Elihandrel rules the Oasis—an island of calm where scholars study evil without fear. A Medium-sized empyrean, but the looks of high elf, he keeps order with a soft voice and an iron will. His word is law, and those who break it find themselves cast back into damnation.
Elihandrel believes knowledge transcends morality. His sanctuary offers endless books, research expeditions, and insights few ever wish to leave be...

Isitrix the Termagant
Once a sahuagin magician-queen whose wars engulfed entire oceans, Isitrix the Termagant now turns her formidable mind to the mysteries of the River Lethe. Though she wields the dread powers of a mummy lord, she is no undead horror— In her submerged sanctum, she delves into the river’s power, ever watchful for those who might disturb her studies. Is she a scholar at peace, or a conqueror awaiting the right moment to rise again?

Orvedark
Orvedarc is a duergar heretic priest-scholar who died centuries ago and has spent time in the Nine Hells both in torment and in service to devils. Now released, he works on his incomplete research into the nature of divinity and divine magic. -CoA pg. 204
Any plans or studies for Orvedark to specialize in?

Aldri Teskethmus
One of the most respected minds of the current roster of scholars at the Oasis is that of Aldri Teskethmus, a living human archmage of the Red Wizards, who theorizes that the traditional arrangement of the planes is merely an artifact of mortals’ limited ability to comprehend the wider universe. -CoA pg. 204
How will you DM Teskethmus. What secrets of the planes does he share with the party?
