The Lord of the Sixth and a sampling of the Fifth

[baron arem heshvaun]

Reading today's diabolic blog makes me as happy a lemure getting his first horns.

It looks like Golarion's Hell will be taking a nod to 1st edition's infernal hierarchy and politics.

Even with my love of Planescape, through the various editions of D&D I have kept the rigid order set by Gygax and supplemented by Greenwood & even later Grubb, and it looks like Golarion's Fallen Angels are returning to thier brimstone roots.

I wonder if Moloch, while Lord of the Sixth, is but a vassal of the Lord of the Seventh. Very soon we will all know.

::sigh:: It's like springtime in Cheliax. Thank you Master Schneider, we await the pleasure of your company. For eternity.

The Infernal Empire is Eternal

That description of Stygia reminds me of my own interpretation of the ruined areas of Mwangwi, where ancient civilizations rot forgotten.

Neat stuff, and that bit about souls trapped so long as their oaths remain recorded in the library sounds kinda like a plot hook, doesn't it? "You must infiltrate the library and destroy the contract to free her soul / purloin the contract to hold as leverage over the librarian..."

Moloch looks like a badass Gorum, doesn't he? Who did that art? Looks like it coulda been Andrew Hou..

What disturbs me is that the angle of his shoulders and hips gives me the impression that he is skipping along like a little girl. XD

Exactly it lulls you into a false sense of security then Its BANG on the back of the head and your down.

He was closest of all to the Babylonian warriors in the multiverse, and adopted their tactic of skipping into battle to scare his opponents.

I read the blog on hell and I have to say perfect two thumbs up to paizo. It is reminscient of First edition Dungeons and Dragons, but has a new twist. Woe be to the unfortunate mortal trapped in its deadly coils...

Love it.

Paizo's handling of D&D feels very "Metal".

WoTC's handling of D&D feels very "Glam Rock".

'Glam Rock' stop being generous, WOTC handling is more like a Brittney Speares music festival...Gahhhh

You're right. I was being generous. :)

Speaking entirely musically, I much prefer Glam to Metal. Bowie, Bolan, Mercury, Eno, Ferry...you don't get musicians like that in any other genre.

[Mairkurion {tm}]

I prefer Gothic or Symphonic to both...

But seriously, exciting blog today: there will be Hell for pay.

[Frostflame]

Is it just me or will the nine hells be a proper frightening nine hells. Mind you they did a good job with the fiendish codices I prefered the first one over the second. I have to admit the nine hells in 3.5 although a deadly and dangerous place to be, were not horrifying. Im hoping once Paizo really gets off the ground to make their evil outer planes places of terror. They are not merely the homes of fiends and places to be explored, but places of true and uttter damnation. No mortal would ever willing tread in such places.

[Sephzero]

This latest one certainly fills me with delight. Moloch is one trooper keeping at it till his body is naught but fire and charred bones. Stygia sounds like a great place to trudge through there. Freaky skull-faced gargoyle like fellows and robed figures in swamp-mired ruins what great company.
