What do do with the Ivory Labyrinth and the Rasping Rifts?

[Arkat]

In the Owlcat Games computer game version of Wrath of the Righteous, defeating Baphomet and Deskari is supposed to give the Commander (your character) control over the Abyssal layers of the Ivory Labyrinth and the Rasping Rifts, at least narratively speaking.

If I remember correctly, defeating Baphomet and Deskari permanently in the Wrath of the Righteous AP is also supposed to give control of those layers to the character/s who defeat them.

In the computer game, actually taking control and running those to layers is not actually explored, but in the Pathfinder RPG, that could very be explored by the GM and the players.

My question is whether any of your gaming groups have actually done that after going back to the Rasping Rifts and killing Deskari for the second time?

Did you leave those layers alone for some other Demon Lords to take them over? Did you eventually move down into the Abyss to rule them yourselves? Or did you do something more bizarre, like lifting them out of the Abyss and adding them to Heaven, possibly as the new 1st layer thus promoting all the other layers and moving them up a spot? How about raising the Ivory Labyrinth and the Rasping Rifts as two separate layers of an entirely new plane like the Twin Paradises of Bytopia?

The options can be as varied as the number of groups who've finished WotR and continued the campaign for a bit, so I'd like to hear any stories you might have relating to what your groups did with those two layers.

Thanks!

I haven't played Wrath of the Righteous, but there is at least one sequel of sorts in the last season of Pathfinder Society 1E.

Spoiler for #10-09:

In "The Rasping Rebirth," the PCs must defeat a remnant of the defeated demon lord Deskari to prevent him from regaining power. One possible result is that one of the PCs takes Deskari's remaining power into themself. If this happens, the character becomes the new demon lord of the Rasping Rift, and inherits Deskari's portfolio. The PC is reported "dead" because they can no longer continue play, but the player gets a boon allowing their other characters to choose the retired PC as a divine patron, with Deskari's old domains.

My wife chose this path when we played the scenario, and is now playing a tiefling inquisitor of a LG demon lord.

Hmm I'd have thought that would involve moving to a new home.

Huh.

I hadn’t heard about this.

Thanks!
