Something no one, including Asmodeus knows, is the creation of the Nine Hells. At the dawn of the multiverse, one of the primordial entities there at the time was Baator. He would be known as the first devil, but was simply another being at the time. Baator appeared in his true form as a horned devil, but made of black smoke and crimson fire, with two red orbs as eyes, and “stood” at about 18’ tall. As these entities created their realms, Baator created a realm of nine layers to control. Baator started creating devils, which at the time, were each at least as powerful as horned devils. However, Baator was to lax, and a devil rose to be to powerful. This devil was known as Asmodeus, and started conquering the first eight layers, as Baator and a few other devils were the only ones with access to the 9th layer. Asmodeus conquered the first eight and found a hidden entrance to what would be known as Nessus, the 9th layer. He slaughtered the devils, but could not find Baator. So Asmodeus made a binding spell that trapped Baator in chains at the bottom of Nessus, even though Asmodeus did not realize what it did or where Baator actually is. The chains trap him in all dimensions, and restrict Baator’s shapeshifting. The only way to break the chains is to have a Duke or Archduke of the Nine Hells to use a vorpal sword on the chains and succeed on a DC 22 Strength (Athletics) check for each of the two chains. |
