Dis
- Ruler: Dispater
- Focus: Paranoia & Gluttony
The layer Dis embodies paranoia and industrial gluttony. It is a place of deep mistrust, endless, senseless production, and suffering, trapped in a labyrinth with no apparent way out.
Its ruler is the archdevil Dispater, also known as the Iron Duke. He is often described as incredibly attractive and considered a master of intrigue, yet driven by an all-pervasive, paranoid delusion. The Iron Duke trusts no one, not even his closest advisors, and is firmly convinced that all other archdukes are relentlessly plotting to overthrow him.
He rules from his impregnable Iron Tower, a citadel that serves as a symbol of his power and distrust. For this reason, there are hardly any beings in the entire multiverse who can outsmart him.
He is also more than the other archdevils fixated on concluding contracts and fiercely loyal to Asmodeus. Contracts signed on his layer contain special provisions that allow Dispater to receive a portion of the respective deal. Thus, he enriches himself through the contracts of others.
The layer of Dis is almost entirely occupied by the city of the same name, a seemingly endless metropolis of hot, rusting iron. The air shimmers with heat, and the architecture of the city defies all logic.
Paths and streets lead into nothingness, buildings change their positions, yet the Iron Tower of Dispater is visible from every point in the city but remains unreachable for all those he does not want near him. The sky has a disgusting green hue and is adorned with silent lightning.
