The nine rings of Baator surround the Palace of Asmodeus, called Malsheem, from which he runs the infinite city.
The Gates
The Gates are the entrances into the infinite city of Baator from the other kingdoms of Inferno. The gates and the small strip of land just outside them are under the dominion of Tiamat, who protects them from incursion for Asmodeus. Though not one of the nine rings, the Gates are treated as an independent territory, and Tiamat stands as equal to the Lords of the rings. Tiamat and Asmodeus are sometimes said to be lovers.
Avernus
Avernus is the blasted battlefield of the first ring, the only things maintained are the great Bronze Fortresses and the Great Road of Bel with which armies can be moved. The ring is in a constant state of all out war and military rule. This is by the design of Zariel, who currently holds the title of Lord of Avernus. She used Avernus to train her endless armies for war against the other fiends. When Asmodeus proclaimed an alliance of all inferno, Zariel wounded him and openly worked against him. Asmodeus tried appointing the archdevil Bel as new Lord of Avernus, but he has yet to take the title from Zariel. Avernus is also home to the Fortress of Draukari, in which the god of Kobolds was imprisoned by Garl Glittergold through trickery.
Dis
Where Avernus is a near wasteland, Dis is a crowded city located in a long valley between the spiked mountains. Every inch of available space is built upon and even its nobles hold little more than an apartment. The only person that holds an entire building is Dispater, who is the Lord of Dis. He makes his home in the Iron Tower, the tallest building in all of the thirteen planes.
Minauros
Minauros is the third ring and ruled by the Greed King Mammon. Mammon bought the title Lord of Minauros from the previous holder, the great Pisaethces, Blood Queen of the Aboleths. The ring is plagued by constant Acidic rains and any buildings built will slowly sink into the swamp. Mammon himself makes his home in Jangling Hiter, a collection of buildings suspended by chains which connect to the walls of Dis and Phlegethos. It is also said that Ernag the Dread Dragon holds a keep called the Obsidian Ridge in Minauros.
Phlegethos
Phlegetos is a realm of magma and blazing flames. It is the most famous ring of Baator and the image most people conjure when imagining Inferno. It is the birthplace of the Goddesses Ishtar and Ereshkigal, the latter of which still holds a realm here called the Jealous Heart. Phlegethos is an anomaly in that the Lord of Phlegethos title is split between two archdevils. Fierna and her father Belial share rule. Though both plan to assassinate the other to gain the full title.
Stygia
Stygia is the frozen ring of Levistus. The original ruler of this ring was Bensozia, who was Asmodeus’ wife. Levistus killed her to gain the title of Lord of Stygia. Asmodeus could not retrieve the title, but was so furious that he froze Levistus into a block of ice. Other archdevils, like Geryon (Holder of Tantlin, city of ice) and Rimmon (Champion of Asmodeus), fight over control of the Ice Floes that make up the ring, but none can gain full control. The title of Lord is frozen with Levistus after all. Sekolah used to rule the waters beneath the Stygian ice when he was allied with Asmodeus against Demogorgon. But after Asmodeus allied himself with the other fiends, Sekolah permanently returned to the Materian waters.
Malbolge
Malbolge is a ring of decaying flesh and beautiful gardens. Its greatest structure is a sprawling prison named Ossiea which is guarded night and day by the Erinyes. Glasya, Asmodeus’ daughter and the Dark Princess of Baator, holds the title of Lord of Malbolge. She is however only interested in the great prison. She leaves the rest of the lands to the rule of the Archdevil Moloch. Moloch once ruled as Lord of Malbolge, but was usurped by the night hag Malagard. Malagard was then killed by Glasya to steal the title, after which Moloch swore fealty to the princess. Moloch makes his home in the Hair Forest. There is also Maggoth Thyg a mysterious cavern where the Archdevil Tartach resides. Tartach stays outside the cavern itself, but sends in many devils to try to map it out. None that reached the deeper parts has ever returned though. It is sometimes believed that it is the resting place of the Mother of Pus, who is said to be the offspring of Shub-niggurath and Asmodeus.
Maladomini
Maladomini is the second most densely populated ring in Baator, after Dis. Maladomini is the center of bureaucracy and where the many archives of contracts are held. Maladomini is also where legal battles are waged between devils and their mortals or eachother. Even Asmodeus and Glasya are not above the determinations of its courts. The head judge is Baalzebul who rules as Lord of Maladomini from Grenpoli. Grenpoli is a great citadel of diplomacy in which nobody can harm another. As such it often serves as neutral diplomatic grounds for all manner of evil beings. Baalzebul was once a celestial in service of the Celestial Bureaucracy, before falling to Asmodeus. The ring is also home to the Carnival Eternal, a great amusement park for devils run by the Archdevil Baftis.
Cania
Where Stygia is cold, but still holds liquid seas, Cania is pure frozen wasteland. The ring serves as a buffer between Asmodeus’ personal domain and the rest of Baator. Most of its buildings Are buried beneath the Kintyre. An endless frozen lake where no water can remain liquid. The only place of heat is Mephistar, which is the home of the Lord of Cania, Mephistopheles. Mephistopheles is absolutely loyal to Asmodeus and endlessly researches magic for his master. Most of the actual ruling of the layer is done by the archdevil Hutijin, who rules from a great sinkhole called the Pit.
Nessus
Nessus is the ring surrounding the Palace of Malsheem, from which Asmodeus rules. Asmodeus held the title of Lord of Nessus himself, along with his title of King of Baator. Most of the realm is dedicated to mansions for the great and loyal servants of the King of Devils. There is however one part, named the Serpent’s Coil, which is kept completely clear. Nobody, not even Glasya, Rimmon and Mephistopheles are allowed to enter. The only exception is Tiamat who is allowed to enter it once a century for an unknown purpose.

Inferno is one big mega city ruled by Asmodeus with 9 walled rings (like in Attack on Titan only more rings) called Baator. This city is surrounded by the river Styx which seperates it from the five kingdoms.
The first Kingdom is Pandemonium, also known as the Endless Abyss, in which the Demon Lords long ago overthrew their king Demogorgon, who is Imprisoned inside. The kingdom is now divided between countless lords like Orkus, Yeenoghu, Fraz-Urb'luu and Baphomet.
The second kingdom is Khyber, the kingdom ruled by Rak Tulkhesh and his council of Night Hags. There are other lords of Khyber, who together form the Bleak Council, advising Rak Tulkhesh.
The third kingdom is Tartarus, the home of the Abhorrent Overlords, who rule islands of terror seated in an infinite ocean ruled by the ***** Queen Umberlee.
The fourth kingdom is Hades, also known as the Grey Waste, ruled by the prime Oinoloth, the sickly plague-ridden king of the Daemons.
The final kingdom is Niflheim, where Hel leads armies of undead. A frozen wasteland in which the souls and bodies of dead mortals are sent to be turned into warriors for the demon hordes.
Pandemonium
Pandemonium is carved into many principalities, some of the leaders of theseprincipalities are: The usurped king Demogorgon

In shadows deep, whispers dance,
A secret tale, a cryptic trance.
Seek the moon's embrace, where stars align,
Unveil the riddles, the answers could shine.
Listen to nature's whispers, let them be your guide,
In enigmatic realms, truth does reside.
Much accurate.

Baator
The nine rings of Baator surround the Palace of Asmodeus, called Malsheem, from which he runs the infinite city.
The Gates
The Gates are the entrances into the infinite city of Baator from the other kingdoms of Inferno. The gates and the small strip of land just outside them are under the dominion of Tiamat, who protects them from incursion for Asmodeus. Though not one of the nine rings, the Gates are treated as an independent territory, and Tiamat stands as equal to the Lords of the rings. Tiamat and Asmodeus are sometimes said to be lovers.
Avernus
Avernus is the blasted battlefield of the first ring, the only things maintained are the great Bronze Fortresses and the Great Road of Bel with which armies can be moved. The ring is in a constant state of all out war and military rule. This is by the design of Zariel, who currently holds the title of Lord of Avernus. She used Avernus to train her endless armies for war against the other fiends. When Asmodeus proclaimed an alliance of all inferno, Zariel wounded him and openly worked against him. Asmodeus tried appointing the archdevil Bel as new Lord of Avernus, but he has yet to take the title from Zariel. Avernus is also home to the Fortress of Draukari, in which the god of Kobolds was imprisoned by Garl Glittergold through trickery.
Dis
Where Avernus is a near wasteland, Dis is a crowded city located in a long valley between the spiked mountains. Every inch of available space is built upon and even its nobles hold little more than an apartment. The only person that holds an entire building is Dispater, who is the Lord of Dis. He makes his home in the Iron Tower, the tallest building in all of the thirteen planes.
Minauros
Minauros is the third ring and ruled by the Greed King Mammon. Mammon bought the title Lord of Minauros from the previous holder, the great Pisaethces, Blood Queen of the Aboleths. The ring is plagued by constant Acidic rains and any buildings built will slowly sink into the swamp. Mammon himself makes his home in Jangling Hiter, a collection of buildings suspended by chains which connect to the walls of Dis and Phlegethos. It is also said that Ernag the Dread Dragon holds a keep called the Obsidian Ridge in Minauros.
Phlegethos
Phlegetos is a realm of magma and blazing flames. It is the most famous ring of Baator and the image most people conjure when imagining Inferno. It is the birthplace of the Goddesses Ishtar and Ereshkigal, the latter of which still holds a realm here called the Jealous Heart. Phlegethos is an anomaly in that the Lord of Phlegethos title is split between two archdevils. Fierna and her father Belial share rule. Though both plan to assassinate the other to gain the full title.
Stygia
Stygia is the frozen ring of Levistus. The original ruler of this ring was Bensozia, who was Asmodeus’ wife. Levistus killed her to gain the title of Lord of Stygia. Asmodeus could not retrieve the title, but was so furious that he froze Levistus into a block of ice. Other archdevils, like Geryon (Holder of Tantlin, city of ice) and Rimmon (Champion of Asmodeus), fight over control of the Ice Floes that make up the ring, but none can gain full control. The title of Lord is frozen with Levistus after all. Sekolah used to rule the waters beneath the Stygian ice when he was allied with Asmodeus against Demogorgon. But after Asmodeus allied himself with the other fiends, Sekolah permanently returned to the Materian waters.
Malbolge
Malbolge is a ring of decaying flesh and beautiful gardens. Its greatest structure is a sprawling prison named Ossiea which is guarded night and day by the Erinyes. Glasya, Asmodeus’ daughter and the Dark Princess of Baator, holds the title of Lord of Malbolge. She is however only interested in the great prison. She leaves the rest of the lands to the rule of the Archdevil Moloch. Moloch once ruled as Lord of Malbolge, but was usurped by the night hag Malagard. Malagard was then killed by Glasya to steal the title, after which Moloch swore fealty to the princess. Moloch makes his home in the Hair Forest. There is also Maggoth Thyg a mysterious cavern where the Archdevil Tartach resides. Tartach stays outside the cavern itself, but sends in many devils to try to map it out. None that reached the deeper parts has ever returned though. It is sometimes believed that it is the resting place of the Mother of Pus, who is said to be the offspring of Shub-niggurath and Asmodeus.
Maladomini
Maladomini is the second most densely populated ring in Baator, after Dis. Maladomini is the center of bureaucracy and where the many archives of contracts are held. Maladomini is also where legal battles are waged between devils and their mortals or eachother. Even Asmodeus and Glasya are not above the determinations of its courts. The head judge is Baalzebul who rules as Lord of Maladomini from Grenpoli. Grenpoli is a great citadel of diplomacy in which nobody can harm another. As such it often serves as neutral diplomatic grounds for all manner of evil beings. Baalzebul was once a celestial in service of the Celestial Bureaucracy, before falling to Asmodeus. The ring is also home to the Carnival Eternal, a great amusement park for devils run by the Archdevil Baftis.
Cania
Where Stygia is cold, but still holds liquid seas, Cania is pure frozen wasteland. The ring serves as a buffer between Asmodeus’ personal domain and the rest of Baator. Most of its buildings Are buried beneath the Kintyre. An endless frozen lake where no water can remain liquid. The only place of heat is Mephistar, which is the home of the Lord of Cania, Mephistopheles. Mephistopheles is absolutely loyal to Asmodeus and endlessly researches magic for his master. Most of the actual ruling of the layer is done by the archdevil Hutijin, who rules from a great sinkhole called the Pit.
Nessus
Nessus is the ring surrounding the Palace of Malsheem, from which Asmodeus rules. Asmodeus held the title of Lord of Nessus himself, along with his title of King of Baator. Most of the realm is dedicated to mansions for the great and loyal servants of the King of Devils. There is however one part, named the Serpent’s Coil, which is kept completely clear. Nobody, not even Glasya, Rimmon and Mephistopheles are allowed to enter. The only exception is Tiamat who is allowed to enter it once a century for an unknown purpose.

That’s pretty good. Do you mind if I use some of them as inspiration for some of my campaigns?

Inferno
Inferno is one big mega city ruled by Asmodeus with 9 walled rings (like in Attack on Titan only more rings) called Baator. This city is surrounded by the river Styx which seperates it from the five kingdoms.
The first Kingdom is Pandemonium, also known as the Endless Abyss, in which the Demon Lords long ago overthrew their king Demogorgon, who is Imprisoned inside. The kingdom is now divided between countless lords like Orkus, Yeenoghu, Fraz-Urb'luu and Baphomet.
The second kingdom is Khyber, the kingdom ruled by Rak Tulkhesh and his council of Night Hags. There are other lords of Khyber, who together form the Bleak Council, advising Rak Tulkhesh.
The third kingdom is Tartarus, the home of the Abhorrent Overlords, who rule islands of terror seated in an infinite ocean ruled by the ***** Queen Umberlee.
The fourth kingdom is Hades, also known as the Grey Waste, ruled by the prime Oinoloth, the sickly plague-ridden king of the Daemons.
The final kingdom is Niflheim, where Hel leads armies of undead. A frozen wasteland in which the souls and bodies of dead mortals are sent to be turned into warriors for the demon hordes.
