devilish questions for lack of space. It addresses
the Nine Hells:
the reason why the information from ThePolitics of Hell was not carried through into our more recently published material on devils and
Many longtime DRAGON readers, myself among them, consider Alexander von ThornsThe Politics of Hell to be one of the best, if not THE best, article that appeared in the magazines
firs t 50 issues, and when writ ing my manuscript I tried to follow it as closely as possible without contradicting official material.
Specifically; I find Satan too powerful for the AD&D game, and Beli al or any sing le com-mander of Hells armies, as Alexander envi-
sioned him would become the key individualin the hells; the armies loyal to him would makeany archdevil he supported the triumphant ruler of the hells, and thus all archdevils would try tobefriend Belial. He could then play one off against another and emerge as overall ruler of thehells a position that both Alexander and Mr.Gygax see Asmodeus as firmly in control of I enjoyed the story of Baalzebuls overthrow told inThe Politics of Hell, but I leave the question of whether it actually happened or not, and indeed much of the past history of the hells, nebulous
part of ever y DMs elbow room, leav ing him the freedom to design things as he sees fit.
One of the key phrases in Eds answer is with-
out contradicting official material. When he
lowed when he put together Nine Hells revis-
composed his original article on the Nine Hellsthat appeared in issues #75 and #76, Ed wascareful not to go against any of the existingofficial system; the same ground rule was fol-
ited and Eight devilish questions. In contrast, Alexander von Thor ns arti cle exce llen t though it was did not attempt to stay within
the confines of the rule system. It was more of atheoretical article, describing a series of eventsthat might have occurred to bring about the
present state of affairs in the hells. As Ed suggests In his answer, The poli tics of Hell might beexcellent source material for a certain campaign
purposely shaped to conf orm to what the arti clesets forth. KM
