Once formidable, he is a prince in decline, having suffered a number of recent setbacks, and is bitterly resentful.

Further humiliated by having to share his name with an arch-devil. Often found in an iron fortress on Pazuzia; roams the Astral Plane. Dagon rules the 50^th layer of the Abyss, known as the Ocean of Despair. Once it was a vibrant place embodying the fecundity of Chaos; it's said that each drop of water became a crawling animal or plant the moment it touched land.

Many of his servants appear as monstrous hybrids, such as a six-legged lizard thing with human arms and a bat's head. His personal guard is made up of snake-fish, toad-crab, and lizard-slug demons.

In his true form, which few see and live, Eblis appears as a dark tear in the fabric of the universe, filled with millions of all-seeing eyes and all-devouring demonic mouths. To others he may appear as a subtly horned human, an afrit, a multi-eyed cocoon, a vast black bird, or any of a million guises. He is at war with the female peris (an evil lower planar race). He is also, strangely, even though the alignments differ (eblis are neutral evil), the patron god of eblis. His sons are Dasim, Awar, Sut, Tir, and Zalambur. More distant descendents of this being still roam the planes, their planetouched blood undiluted. He is said to be one of the Twelve Ancestors of geniekind, and maintains ties with some of the elemental nobles. He is currently engineering a war between Marduk and Flauros, and between Blibdoolpoolp and Mot. He rules the 427^th layer of the Abyss, known as Nakdar Nakoul.

Eldanoth appears as an emanciated humanoid with smiling fangs, catlike eyes, and serpents growing from his fingertips. He's elaborately dressed in a jade-encrusted kilt and an oversized hunting headdress. Eldanoth makes no noise as he moves; he's a master thief, sorcerer, and assassin.

Immured in a stone prison on the Prime for several centuries. Fraz is the master of manipulation, using misdirection to deceive even other lords of the Abyss. It's said that the only one to outwit him was that prodigy of trickery Zagig Yragerne, who imprisoned him in his castle for a time. He has recently returned to the Abyss, and is busy transforming his new layer of Hollow's Heart into a veil of cruel lies. Fraz Urblu's gaze can drain intelligence and wisdom from his victims. He has powerful psionic abilities as well as magic. His face is beautiful but cruel, with eyes like shattered mirrors that reveal the duplicity in those who look into them. His body is hulking and monstrous, continually mutating and transforming itself to a bewildering variety of forms.

J'sald Xerix. Prince of Nightmares. Father of Vucarik? J'sald Xerix is an ancient entity who claims to be one of the founding Powers of the Abyss - some say he is the nameless one known as He Who Dreams, or a construct of his. He rules from the Nightmare Cage, a lost layer where all desires come to pass in the most obscene manner possible. There he is eternally imprisoned by his own thoughts; all of his dreams of escape mere constructs of the plane. The Nightmare Cage is nothing and everything; thoughts become twisted reality, as mutable as desire. The only permanent inhabitant is J'sald.

He is hostile to the devil Baal, who attacked his layer once under the guise of a truce, and the 'daemon Kronos, and very hostile with Alvarez, who has accused him of promoting Law.

Lupercio. A prince, Baron of Sloth. Lupercio, a son of Pale Night and an unknown father, is the embodiment of the strength of darkness.

Shadow fiends cluster around him, eagerly feeding on his limitless shadows. When properly moved, he can strike with his fists for 9d10 points of damage, and cause earthquakes by stomping the ground. He can utter curses so foul that they sear the air and boil flesh. His home layer, the Slugbed, is covered with his filth and dung, but also contains clouds of radiance, beautiful forests and graceful castles - there is no overriding theme. Sometimes his presence oozes onto other layers of the Abyss; Lupercio seems to hardly know the difference.

Loves to see death, and has some sort of affinity with undead: able to command shadows. Also called "Prince of Unlife," a title normally reserved for Orcus, a lord he has spied for on occasion. This giant demon spies for other demon lords while counter-spying for their enemies (without each party knowing it). Although his efforts usually produce little gain for him, it usually result in the two demon lords in question fighting (usually erupting into a major war) when they have found that they have been spying on each other. Whether this demon is just trying to keep other demons busy to keep himself alive, or whether he is just trying to spread chaos, is unknown. He usually tries not to be the target of the anger when the demon lords have found out that each of them have betrayed their trust in each other. (Although if either demon found out what was truely going on, Nergel would not stay in his portion of the abyss for long). In combat (which he avoids at all cost unless he is forced to engage in it) he can rake with his two foreclaws for enormous effect. His bite (3-13) may also cause disease (of random type) if a save is not made against it.

His realm, Thanatos, is composed of manifold layers populated with skeletal monsters, various sorts of zombies, huecuvae, shadows, sheet phantoms, vampires, and death knights.

Some say she is the Abyss itself (some say the same of Demogorgon and Merrshaulk). Despite her age and might, Pale Night (sometimes called Old Night, especially in reference to her consortship of the demonic force of the six hundred twenty third layer known only as Chaos) prefers to lair within the realms of other demon lords, with whom she often spawns yet more powerful children. Previously she had dwelt in Degrazazt, the 121^st layer of the Abyss, where she took the lost and wandering abat-dolor into her care. She took their high chieftain as her consort and birthed Graz'zt, the young Abyssal Lord of Shadows, and his twin sister Rhyxali, who at that time were little more than a abat-dolors themselves. In recent millennia, her consort has been Baphomet. She visits him rarely, spending most of her time in her tower of bone, but she occasionally involves herself in his cults on the Material Plane, offering a final sanctum within the labyrinth of his faith. The Tower of Bone travels throughout the Endless Maze of its own accord, long skeletal legs ensuring it is never seen in the same part twice.
