These powerful devils aren't always baatezu either. The most powerful of these are the lawful "demons" of the Ten Courts.The Yama Kings of the Ten Courts of HellLike with the Archdevils of Baator, the Yama Kings of the Ten Courts each rule a layer (known as a Court). See pages 165 to 178 of Beyond Countless Doorways for complete details on the Ten Courts of Hell.Court's Ruler1. Ghost Judge Yama2. Mud King3. Eternal Yama Queen4. Inkstone King5. Whip Hand King6. Clockwork Serpent Queen7. Bronze Bell King8. Snow King9. Midnight King10. Yama King of KingsOf all these Courts only one is ruled by a true baatezu devil. The Whip Hand King is a cornugon devil. Note that, in my cosmology, Tiamat has relocated to the Ten Courts and lives on The Sixth Court in a underground lair known as The Chromatic Warren.She is the Clockwork Serpent Queen's greatest ally, and it is believed that if the Queen can move up to The Seventh Court, she will ask the Yama King of Kings to let her pass on the mantle of the Sixth Court to Tiamat.Of course, Tiamat has her own plans. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" />It is not known whether or not the ox & vampire demons and the yamado of the Ten Courts are members of the ancient Baatorian race that was overthrown by the baatezu. They claim to be, which annoys the Lords of the Nine, a lot. Asmodeus absolutely became enraged when the question was put to him by a demonic rival. (That rival died horribly.)More likely the lawful "demons" of the Ten Courts of Hell are their own unique race of fiends. What's one more shade of evil in the grand scheme of things. However, rumors persist that ancient Baatorians have taken up residence amongst the varied denizens of the Ten Courts, and that they are planning to retake Baator, someday.What is known is that the Blood War has never reached the Ten Courts and the denizens of the plane prefer not to be involved in that eternal conflict. As you can guess, many baatezu outcasts have relocated to the Ten Courts, which pisses off Asmodeus even more. He often sends diabolic assassins to infiltrate the Ten Courts to kill rogue baatezu. Their has even been an assassination atempt on the Whip Hand King.Cheers!KF72</blockquote>
