Fiendish Codex II next month--Any scoop/rumors/etc.?

1. Actually the word "Heaven" is not used.

2. The realms of Set and Sekolah are mentioned, the first gets like three paragraphs, the second one and a half.

(Seeing your reaction, I maybe should stop posting about the book, or WotC will sue me for destroying their sales More seriously, I might get some details wrong when I summarize parts of the book, english is not my native languague. So best reverse final judgement till you see it yourself.)

Focusing on the soultrade sounds very right for this book

Are there other Divine Realms apart from Set and Sekolahs?

Kurtulmak, Tiamat, Hecate, and something called God Street in Dis, where apparently lots of minor LE gods house.

Ok, very cool.

*genuine smile* Apparently my opinions are being flighty this morning, but this makes me quite happy. It's like getting a Christmas present you didn't expect after getting a bunch of socks and last years video games up to that point. This is very nice and I applaud the authors for the guts to follow in FC:I's footsteps, and also to WotC for removing the creative restrictions that held such things down up till recently.

As far as locations in the layers, is 'The Garden' mentioned on Avernus? The City of Man, and the City of Diplomacy on deeper layers (layer 7 IIRC)?

And is the history of the Dark 8 detailed, and are the ministries run by its members fleshed out at all?

That was offensive? :\

God Street? At first this seemed to me like a crazy idea, but I can see great potential in it after considering it for a while. Can you elaborate on this? I am sure Dis can be great to read about.

Nice that these restrictions are lifted, yes.

And I am sure Shemeska did not want anyone up on a cross

I think this book sounds pretty cool and am surprised by the overwhelming negativity on this thread, and by amount of posts by people who don't even believe morbiczer that he has the book.

Anyhow, I look forward to picking it up when funds allow and checking it out for myself.

Most of the negativity seems to be directed at the fact that these little snippets seem to indicate that the book won't cover EVERYTHING about Hell, especially the Ancient Baatorians. I would've liked to see more about them, especially since FCI introduced the proto-demon obyriths.

But, I'll wait and see. The book still looks pretty cool, if not as cool as FCI.

I think it sounds pretty cool too. Like FC1, the book will probably contain more info on devils and the Nine Hells than any single previous book. Guide to Hell and the Baator book in Planes of Law are both slim volumes.
