The Nine Hells of Baator, sometimes shortened to Hell or Hells, and named Baator in Infernal is the home of devils and the plane that embodies lawful evil. It is a plane of sinister wickedness and institutional cruelty, its denizens organized into a strict caste system with a very rigid chain of command. Each of the nine Hells has its own physical laws or properties of matter, but all are inhospitable or deadly to outsiders.
