[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 2682809, member: 8461"] According to [I]Faces of Evil[/I], any evil person who does goes to the lower plane that best matches his alignment (presuming he didn't worship a specific deity). He arrives there as a larva. However (from what FoE says), exceptionally Chaotic Evil petitioners make the jump straight to manes (and exceptionally LE ones make it to lemures), never being a larva. Layer 400, the Mountains of Woe, is where the nalfeshnee judge (as I understood it) all the new souls that come to the Abyss (and my understanding was that they appear on that layer instantly), no matter what their form. Most likely, the nalfeshnee there are canny enough to understand that those who appear as manes already are probably more hardy than the ones who are just larva. That aside, they still get to choose what happens next to the new petitioners ("You rutterkin; you manes; you dretch; you dinner!"). It's worth reiterating that when higher fiends are looking to promote some larva, they prefer to use NE larva. The article "Pox of the Planes" in the [I]Dragon Annual[/I] #2 made it clear why.
