Abbadon

Abbadon is the first Duke of Hell. His domain is over power, and the arrogent. He offers great power, but at a price. His preffered servents are the Horned Devils. Abbadon has the ability to grant wishes within his power, and many kings and nobles are raised totheir position becuase of this Duke of Hell. Becuase of this, Abbadon has much influence in the Material Plane. Some whispers state that he even secretly controls the Amojan Confederacy, the most powerful of the Erzekan sucessor states. This would be problem, but would explain why Kuthian's cult is becoming more and more prevelant around the world. The cult has a sponsor now.

Domain
Abbadon was sealed in the first layer of Baator, Avernus. Avernus is a hellish city, with buildings made of black metal, where the ground is hot (very) to the touch, and where devils and lost souls constantly scheme for power. Any visitor to plane can be expected to be caught up in a power struggle between various factions, all of whom believe that they should rule Avernus. Any who attack the Ebon Fortress where Abbadon himself makes his home is slaughtered. Any who survive are elevated to positions of nobility for following the teachings of Abbadon, and attempting to advance themselves. Within a week, one of their servents will betray them, and take his position. Despite its solid and orderly look, nothing is truely permament in Avernus.

Summoning
To summon an avatar of Abbadon, a golden ring must be buried. Nine stakes must be placed in the ground around it, the first stake being taller than the rest. Shed some of your own blood on each of the stakes, to prove that you will sacrifice for power, while chanting,

"Abbadon, elevator of men, freind of paupers, enemy of ancient nobility, I summon thee! From your Ebon Fortress, come to me! Give this unworthy self some of your unholy self, that I might be the most worthy of all! I will serve thee, if only you grant me this small boon, that of your audience!"
