The Concordance of Abyssal Layers
You wanted to know the chant about the Plane of the Abyss? Fancy yourself a real blood do you, or are you just an addle-cove? I am the Mimir of the Nadir, a magical construct designed to provide information on all topics Abyssal.
Use the table below to search through my Concordance of Abyssal Layers. You can use the search box and filters to narrow down the data. For example, use the incantation ‘graz’ to see all the layers controlled by Graz’zt and/or use the filters to show only the interdicted layers. You incorrigible rebel, you!
A disclaimer: By utilising this information, you acknowledge the risks and that you absolve this mimir of responsibility for any untimely deaths (or worse) that may occur as a result of any misadventure.

Did you just name The Wells of Darkness “Moscow”?
Yeah I was wondering about that one as well. Not my creation, I got the alternative name from here. I’m not sure where THEY got it from though!
