Layers of the Abyss

First Post
I'm looking to compile all the different layers of the abyss that have been published wherever for whatever reason in any suppliment, edition, or fan-creation. After all, they're infinite....

Conflicting ideas about one layer are welcome. After all, it is CHAOTIC. muhahahahahha............

I'll start with the basic ones from 3e MotP and some other sources


1: Plain of Infinite Portals
6: Great Mother
28: Zahhak (layer of Apathy from Mongoose)
45:Graz'zt (Azzagrat)
46:Graz'zt
47:Graz'zt
66: Lolth
88: Demogorgon
113: Thanatos
222: Juiblex
404: (NWN module based on this layer)

Funny-----currently that is where my PCs are. The current layer they are on is of my own creation.

Ruined Maze

Endless maze of walls what are in ruins with few building. The rock is black with red sands. Little water. Occational pools of magma and magma rivers. Always dusk for lighting.

The walls are 3-15 ft tall. Flying is allowed but attracts just about everything. Stealth is important here.

Loaded with fiendish creatures with poison (centipedes, spiders and scorpions)

Currently they are trying to locate a sage that may know of portals to escape this place BUT they ticked off the local warlord by interrupting his hunt (of human slaves).

The 2e supplement Planes of Chaos has a long breakdown on a lot of planes in the abyss and the original manual of the planes has some as well. Mongoose has made some supplements as well detailing specific planes on the abyss.

the 1e manual of the planes lists a bunch of rulers and their planes, but no numbers, i'm afraid....

[edit - oops! except for 65 (Lolth's web), and 66 (Lolth's domain) - and it mentions that she has 'a number of adjacent planes']

This list from http://www.geocities.com/Athens/7117/planes/abyss/abyss1.html is one of the more complete lists of the layers of the Abyss out there. However there is a massive amount of information about the Abyss on some of the Planescape websites such as mimir.net, ps3e.net, and of course the official 3e Planescape site http://www.planewalker.com/.
