The yugolothts have always been the most intrigueing of fiends because of their intentional quietness. Out of the demons that are even capable of thought, most of them haven't really thought about evil, they just do what they're driven to do. And with the devils, when you get them down the rabbit hole, they'll try and convince you and themselves that they're actually the good guys! But the 'loths? From their perspective, the demons and devils don't really even know what evil actually IS. When given freedom and choice, and you DECIDE to be evil, that's the true essence.

Just 5% of the loth population could number in the trillions for all we know.

Already loving this series! Seems like the Grey Wastes aren't a topic a lot of people talk about,and yet they're so interesting! Devils aim to control chaos, at any cost, while demons want to destroy the multiverse. Yugoloths only care about themselves and pure evil. To use an armchair psychologist's metaphor, Devils are control freaks and paranoids, Demons are rabid lunatics and megalomaniacs, Yugoloths are the true psychopaths, incapable of feeling joy or empathy. They do evil deeds, but without the desire to gain something from it like the devils or the sheer joy of cruelty the demons do, no. They do evil deeds because they don't even understand the concept of "kindness" or "joy".

From a given point of view, you can start a Dark Souls campaign like setting and then slowly let the players realize they are in Hades the whole time. Normally at my last game shop when a PC dies they roll a charisma check like you would do in the Ravenloft setting to see if the PC becomes a ghost or not. If successful we rolled a 1d8 minus 1hd/level to see what type of undead they become or just apply the 3e half-fiend template to the PC to see how much their original personality remains after death. Did a mini campaign of a neutral evil pig farmer that was rogue/sorcerer with add half-fiend template that ended up marrying a night hag. His sense of purpose that grounds his soul is that he is a pig farmer that herds larva. He will eventually screw you over in one way or another but he also hands outside quest and gives minor aid at the cost of temporary ability score points or Xp cost, or some form of magic treasure.

@@AJPickett Even if it is true that night hags feel no true love, them getting married is just another type of Game they play to help pass the time. Spoken or unspoken rule of Hades or any other lower plane, having a short or long term Game helps to keep one sane or less insane and to pass the time. Which is a reason why fiends like making and having Contracts with multiple catches to keep the mind sharp. Marriage is just another form of soul binding legal contract listing duties each partner having in a given relationship. . Anyways you have to be playing some vile PCs if anyone of them willing court and marry a nigh hag out of the Goodness of their heart.

I’ve watched this one three times already within the span of a day. I want to see the rest of the series first, but I’m already working on a revised cosmology where Hades is neutral and all the dead travel here before being permitted to go to their reward or punishment. It will make it the primary battleground in the blood war, but also a place where the celestial travel to gather up their lost followers. Truly a nightmare for even the righteous dead, who risk being consumed as their god’s agent come to claim them. “How dare you come to take what is mine, angel. The dead belong to me. You will pay homage to me if you wish a single soul for your master’s realm.” -Hades, king of the dead.

Well, if it's all minds that form it , somewhere in hades is a forest were you can see yourself be wired to a tree and tortured by lesser devil's . if you don't save for constitution and intelligence upon viewing , your concious gets trapped in that version of yourself . Once transferred,you are perminantly in that body .if rescued , stats are rerolled but level modifiers still are applied. Hope that gives someone a fun game idea

Particularly strong devils can’t be killed. Unless it’s consumed, it will just re-form in the spawning pits, a lot more pissed off at whatever killed it. PCs normally lack the ability to consume souls and the devil has all of the time it needs for its anger to seethe. It might even come back stronger if there are weaker demons to eat in the spawning pits.
