DEVILS: ARCHDEVILS

At the top of the hierarchy of the Nine Hells stand the
archdevils, a vicious and backbiting group made up of ••
the Hells' elite devils. They include the various lords,
the nobles who owe them fealty, and some exiles and
outcasts who have fallen out of favor. Favor in the Nine
•
Hells shifts like the wind, and the fortunes of the great •
and mighty rise and fall at the whims of their betters.
Many dread names are included in the rolls of the arch- '
devils; the few described here are among those that •
adventurers are most likely to encounter.
Wish Fulfillment. All devils seek control over mortal
souls, so they offer enticements to tempt mortals into
making unwise bargains. Archdevils, possessing the
true power of the Nine Hells, can fulfill nearly any de-
sire (within the limits of a wish spell) requested by the
mortals they bind to their infernal contracts. Archdevils
always fulfill the letter of the wish, rewarding desperate
mortals with a twisted interpretation of their desires.
In exchange for this gift, the devil expects and receives
total power over a soul and usually claims it upon the
mortal's death. An archdevil can't fulfill its own wish.
