Manual of the Planes was the first I had seen it.<a href="http://members.bellatlantic.net/~vze33gpz/gordmain.html" target="_blank">http://members.bellatlantic.net/~vze33gpz/gordmain.html</a>Abat-dolor The Abat-dolor are an independent race of demons of which Graz'zt is a member. They are ebon-hued, six-fingered, seven to eight feet tall humanoids. They are more human and more civilized than most demons; yet they are reputed to be the most vicious of all demons. They are broken into the nine clans of pain, each of which has their own lord, with Elazalag serving as their overlord. They are independent of all other demon lords. The soldiers wear polished red bronze plate armor. They are armed with swords, spears, and light crossbows. Some have swivel-mounted antimatter guns which are used as a last resort and only by the order of Elazalag. Mezzafgraduun used to be held by the Abat-dolor under Graz'zt, while he was Elazalag's consort. However, Iggwilv came to Mezzafgraduun and separated Graz'zt and four clans of Abat-dolor loyal to him from the rest of the Abat-dolor. Vuron is also held accountable by the Abat-dolor, and they don't care for Eclavdra. Iyondagur - layer 399. It is attached to layers 398, 400, and 366 (Mezzafgraduun?). It is held by the Abat-dolor demons. It is not a great strata, but is considered to be a large wild layer. The entrance from the Soulless Sounding is in the middle of the great plaza of Elazalag's fortress's outer courtyard. The palace itself is in the center of the plane (if such a thing can be said). There are many frowning facades of hewn stone blocks hedging in this irregularly shaped area. Squads of Abat-dolor line the parapets on the walls of the square. Princess Elazalag is announced by iron rods pounding on wood and by deep horns that shake the stones. The fortress has a massive portcullis and drawbridge leading to the courtyard. It has just begun to be invaded in the middle of Dance of Demons. Hippokeres These are demon horses with eight thick legs and a rhinoceros horn. They are wild, but the smaller ones are tamed and ridden by the Abat-dolor. Vargrineen another type of Abysmal steed used by the Abat-dolor. ***I think if you were to incorporate Pale Night into such a cosmology (I would first like to know more about her) I wouldn't have her in a position of power, probably some kind of esoteric Proto-demon perhaps!?</blockquote>
