The Abyss is a plane populated by demons.^[1] It may be synonymous with Hell.

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]

The Elder Demon Belzenlok fought in "The War in 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]

For a long time, The Abyss was popularly thought to be a void between planes, and possibly synonymous with the Nether Void, the Aether, and/or the Blind Eternities. Brady Dommermuth was the first to imply that it was a plane.^[7] This was confirmed at last when it appeared as a plane card in March of the Machine Commander
