'''The Abyss''' is popularly thought to be a void between planes. It may be synonymous with the [[Nether Void]], the [[Aether]], and/or the [[Blind Eternities]]. On the other hand, it may be synonymous with [[Hell]], because it is populated with [[demon]]s.

The Abyss is a plane populated by demons.[1]

History

  • The Wretched, beings who enslave the wills of their enemies, are reputed to come from the Abyss. Their touch means loss of self and is followed by a lifetime of base servitude.[2]
  • Liana of Minorad and Ravidel battled there, resulting in Liana's death.[3]
  • It was also here that Greensleeves banished the evil creature Ur-Drago.[4]

War of the Abyss

  • The Elder Demon Belzenlok fought in something called "The War of the Abyss", and had been stuck in the Abyss ever since. The Cabal, desperate for leadership, performed a ritual to summon Kuberr, but accidentally freed Belzenlok from the Abyss.[5][6]
