“It is not death that awaits in the Abyss, but change without mercy.”
The Discordant Abyss is the fractured reflection of reality, where conflict, chaos, and division reign supreme. It is not merely a plane of evil or punishment, but the ultimate expression of entropy and opposition. To some, it is Hell. To others, it is truth unveiled.
The Luminary Court, who name the Abyss and its gods as a dire threat to balance and sanity. They teach that the Discordant gods offer dangerous temptations: otherworldly power, forbidden knowledge, and pacts that corrupt the soul in exchange for momentary strength.
Nature and Functionality
The Discordant Abyss is a plane composed of shifting dominions, each ruled or influenced by a powerful Discordant Lord. Time is erratic, landscapes morph constantly, and logic bends to narrative and madness. Mortals rarely survive extended exposure without transformation- whether physical, spiritual, or ideological.
While other planes may be governed by laws, the Abyss devours law itself. Yet amidst this chaos stands a singular, terrifying figure: Malethos, the Discordant Overlord.
Inhabitants
Both Demons and Devils can be found in the Discordant Abyss, and both can sire Scaethans. The population are mostly defined by which region they reside in, and are called Demons, Devils, or something completely different depending on it and the Lord ruling over.
