![]() How could he play with Darkness to compete with the Lord of Darkness himself? Not willing to take any risks, Azdaar fortified the Aura Shields around his body, and the only thing visible to him was his own body which was exuding a reddish-brown miasma.įor a brief moment, he debated if he should utilise his own control over Darkness to blend in this place, but he felt silly for even thinking it. The gravitational pressure locked on him was several times greater than what he had tried to lock Keith with, and in this despicable place, he could not sense the presence of his enemy at all. Paizo Publishing, LLC.In a world of Darkness that Azdaar found himself lost inside, the ground beneath his feet was pulling onto him as if it wanted to devour him. ↑ Paris Crenshaw, Mikko Kallio, Jason Keeley.↑ Crystal Frasier, Eric Hindley, and Michael McCarthy.The Great Beyond: A Guide to the Multiverse, p. 40. ↑ 3.0 3.1 John Compton, Adam Daigle, Amanda Hamon Kunz, et al.The Great Beyond: A Guide to the Multiverse, p. 40–41. The eternal darkness of Mammon's demesne is also home to large populations of infernal mimics, darkmantles, oozes, and molds that the archdevil finds useful and has his servants breed and manage to serve Erebus. Throughout the Lord of the Third's realm, constructs both common and unique are deployed, from gem-studded stone and brass golems to iron cobras of incredible size. The constructs created for Mammon's service are usually made of precious metals or covered in gems to disguise them among the treasures of Erebus. Mammon employs a variety of golems and constructs to guard his vaults. Typhilipedes are native to Erebus and considered a pest. Once the contents have been counted and passed along to the devils who sort the valuables, the minds of the damned are wiped clean of the memory of the treasures before being given more to record. Essentially blind in the vast darkness of Hell's third layer, they keep mental records of impressions that their osyluth overseers tap to ensure accuracy and complicity. The rest are chained to the ground and used to count and pass along each object that enters the vaults of Erebus. Most of the souls sent to Erebus face wealth-related torture or ritualized dismemberment to create soul-fragments for use as currency. Magadazes and hamatulas are common in Erebus, with hamatulas being Mammon's favorites. The Judicators of the Golden Chain are fifteen devils chained together who are tasked with managing the affairs of Erebus, dealing with requests from mortals, and arranging the transport of valuables to other layers. 3 Inhabitants Judicators of the Golden Chain Further still is Mammon's Bier, the very center of the third layer of Hell. In the depths of Erebus, through mazes of treasure halls each larger, more opulent, and grander than the last, lie the Dawn Vaults. Great barriers of stone and iron, dark magic, and hungry bestial flesh protect the layer's greatest storerooms, forcing even the infernal elite to carry dozens of keys and talismans with them as they travel. ![]() Kingly ransoms litter the floor even in the most disgusting of these passages, while in greater halls lie treasures whose splendor could blind an observer, were a light cast upon them. ![]() ![]() Sewer-like channels wind their way through Erebus, carrying the filth of Dis. Attempting to dig through the walls, floors or ceilings will reveal only unbroken expanses of the dense rock even when other chambers should lie just beyond. Huge blocks of gray stone comprise the entire third layer of Hell. Vaulted ceilings, occasionally rising dozens of stories high, replace the sky, their unseen stonework dripping chill condensation and reeking seepage from above. In the eternal darkness of Erebus are countless vaults holding incredible wealth. 1 2 The majority of treasures seized by Hell's infernal legions or offered to Asmodeus and his archdevils find their way to Erebus. It is here that the archdevil Mammon keeps Hell's books, accounting for all that is spent in the infernal realm. Hell's third layer is known as Erebus, the Eternal Counting House of Mammon, and is an endless dungeon beneath the second layer of Dis. ![]()
