Lower Planes

CanonOfficial lore from the booksSSGp. 22 BoDp. 78 MCp. 164

The lower planes are named, together with the upper planes and the material world, among the realms of existence. The powerful nameless entities known as void gods belong to none of them.¹

Souls and the lower planes

Mortals may sell their souls to entities from the lower planes. Those who have done so, like those who have actively rebelled against the gods, cannot pass through The Gate after death.¹

Some deeds condemn a soul to the lower planes whatever the doer intended. Reculta Vile, a torturous ritual usually used to interrogate a celestial for information, is one of them: the very attempt to perform it condemns the ritualist's soul to the lower planes.²

The contracts of the Morenar do not bind its members' souls to the hells, but they do lead those souls towards the lower planes and towards sin.³
