Abandon All Hope...
From the origin of the gods to the inhabitants of the darkest infernal pit, Princes of Darkness: Book of the Damned Volume 1 is an unflinching look at the methods, motivations, and goals of Asmodeus, the archdevils, and the entire hierarchy of Hell. Whether you’re planning to storm the gates of Avernus or trade in the exotic and immoral markets of Dis, or simply want to add a splash of diabolical flavor to a standard campaign, this 64-page book is full of delicious temptations worthy of Faust himself.
Princes of Darkness includes:
- A layer-by-layer description of Hell and its rulers
- The hierarchy of Hell, and how devils are promoted
- The role and duties of each kind of devil, including the infernal dukes and the herald of Asmodeus
- Guidelines for infernal contracts
- Devil talismans, true names, and their uses
- New Hell-themed spells, magic items, and artifacts
- The diabolist prestige class, complete with imp companion
- Five new kinds of devils, from the blaspheming apostate devil to the relentless levaloch
This stand-alone book can also complement the material found in the Council of Thieves Pathfinder Adventure Path, Pathfinder Chronicles: The Great Beyond, and Are there errors or omissions in this product information? Got corrections? Let us know at

Being a fan of everything related to hell, Asmodeus and that entire aspect of roleplaying, I simply had to get this book. And I can't say that I regret it now, on the third day since picking it up from postal delivery.
I enjoy the stories and flavour in the start and ending, the content is great and very rich on details.
The diabolist prestige class covers an area I have missed proper coverage of and has exactly the right feeling of both the great powers a pact with hell has - as well as the ultimate damnation it includes.
A great thanks for the notes on the Pathfinder version of the Archdukes as well. I am generally very happy that the take manage to have all that I loved and adored about earlier versions of hell, while still being uniquely pathfinder.
At the end of the day all I can say about this is: I wish, burningly, that there was more. And well, I must say a more detailed description of the individual layers of hell, with drawings, maps and more of the (already adorable) interesting locations would definitely be an adorable addition to this book. Especially for GM, who like me, find the urge to send the players on a visit to the plane of LE-alignment nearly irresistible (this book certainly doesn't make that urge smaller!)
I haven't finish reading the book so this is not a complete review but something i couldn't wait to get off my chest.
To the editor: Please don't use the font used in the "before" and the "exodus" section. It's simply too hard to read. I got a headache trying to decipher some of the words and it got to the point i had to stop. It's really too bad because i love this kind of flavor text.
The books semms really good though and i can't wait to get my teeth into the main meat.
