Rhyxali The Demon Princess of Shadow Rhyxali is a female demon lord who rules the shadow demons. Unlike such princes as Demogorgon, Orcus, and Graz’zt, she maintains a low profile. Her servants run a brisk trade in both souls and information as they flit amid the infinite Abyss. She controls an entire layer, the home of the shadow demons, and does not covet a larger realm. Rhyxali seems content to gain more personal power by trafficking in secrets and souls. She delights in killing and deceit. Rhyxali’s layer of the Abyss, called Shaddonon, is a place of darkness. Within its dim twilight, nestled among forests of shadows, lie hidden cities full of outcast demons and rogue beings of all sorts. The main inhabitants, however, are shadow demons. Few have seen Rhyxali’s true form and lived to tell the tale. She is a tall, humanoid woman with jet-black skin. The color of her flesh, and the fact that she has six fingers on each hand, lends credence to the idea that she is related to Graz’zt—perhaps his sister. Neither speaks of the issue; they seem to have no special like or dislike for each other. Rhyxali’s symbol is a jet-black dagger. The Goals of RhyxaliShadow demons travel throughout the Lower Planes virtually unnoticed. As they do, they see everything and report it back to their mistress. Rhyxali sells some of this information to wealthy buyers (who pay in magic or souls) but keeps the best tidbits to exploit herself. Like night hags, shadow demons also trade in souls. Shaddonon’s reputation as the Abyss’s main soul-trading center draws many visitors willing to pay vast sums. Even other demon princes send emissaries to Rhyxali make deals. Virtually all powerful demons call Rhyxali their ally even though many fear her ability to strike unseen, slay, and leave again unnoticed. None of them trust her completely, but she knows enough not to trust them either. Rhyxali has slight regard for the Material Plane or its mortal inhabitants. Mortals have souls and souls are a commodity; she thinks of them as little more than livestock.

Severik Severik is a balor fighter that commands a cadre of twelve marilith blackguards in Demogorgon’s name. Each of these demons is granted a retriever to use as a mount or companion. The mariliths are infamous for their use of the Quicken Spell-Like Ability feat applied to their teleport without error ability. Unhath & Reluhantis Unhath and Reluhantis, two mariliths, are never far from the demon prince when he is within his dark palace. When he is gone, they run the place with an iron hand, cruelly and chaotically. Yattara Yattara, a succubus in the service of Graz'zt, is in charge of a small squad of succubi that excel at infiltration and espionage. Darkness Given Hunger Darkness Given Hunger is the largest black pudding known. It was possessed by a hezrou demon at Juiblex’s command, and then an imprison possessor spell was cast upon the fusion, making it permanent. For centuries, the demon has dwelled within the pudding, and the two have truly become one in the foul depths of the Abyss. Now, Darkness Given Hunger is Juiblex’s main servant, helping patrol the Abyssal layer upon which they both dwell, looking for food. Kauvra Kauvra is a vampire who serves as an enforcer for Orcus on Thanatos. Her rages are infamous, as is the long list of creatures that she has slain single-handedly. Harthoon Harthoon is a lich who's arcane power makes him a perfect vizier for the Prince of the Undead, and he currently serves in that capacity at Orcus’s right hand.

The Radiant Sisters Malcanthet is served in her palace by a cabal of 13 lilitu bards called the Radiant Sisters. These lilitus do not exhibit their kind’s notorious intolerance for other lilitus or succubi, and their songs can be heard throughout Malcanthet’s palace at all times, haunting and erotic melodies that can have unwelcome effects on those whom Malcanthet has not invited into her realm. Doresain The King of Ghouls One of Yeenoghu’s greatest and earliest triumphs was the subjugation of Doresain, the King of the Ghouls. Once a vassal of Orcus, the King of the Ghouls controlled his own layer of the Abyss until Yeenoghu’s army invaded and conquered the layer and its undead ruler. The King swore fealty to Yeenoghu and continues to pay him homage to this day. Doresain still rules the White Kingdom today, but as a sworn ally of the more powerful Prince of Gnolls. Orcus’s attention has been elsewhere, and so far, he has not acted against the Prince of Gnolls for the theft of one of his subjects.

The Lords of Woe The Lords of Woe are a 'council' who rule The Woeful Escarade, the 400th layer of the Abyss. Bilwr: This exceedingly formal demon constantly refers to millennia-old precedent and consults musty documents from the early days of the Abyss when considering his judgments. Qixxit: A paragon of playful sarcasm and incisive insults, Magistrate Qixxit has a deep appreciation for beauty and art. The Marquesse of Loss: Among the subtlest of the Lords of Woe, this cunning schemer serves herself before all and is always on the lookout for an opportunity to increase her (already considerable) station. Oozewart: The rapid-fire decisions of this impatient magistrate come with no consideration whatsoever, for Oozewart believes that the best justice is the kind that touches the most lives in the shortest period of time.
Johud: This easily bored tyrant despises weakness and humility.
