The Complete Guide to D&D’s 10 Archdevils

In this episode of Lore & More, we’re diving into the rulers of the Nine Hells — every Archdevil LORD in Dungeons & Dragons. From Zariel’s endless Blood War in Avernus… to Mephistopheles’ mastery of Hellfire… to Asmodeus himself, the Lord of the Ninth and supreme ruler of devilkind… These are the beings who control Baator through tyranny, contracts, manipulation, and ancient cosmic schemes. We’ll break down who each Archdevil is, the layer of Hell they rule, their origins, personalities, powers, cults, and the dark ambitions that drive them. Whether you’re a Dungeon Master looking for a major villain, a player making a warlock pact, or just love deep D&D lore, this video covers the complete hierarchy of Hell in one place. The Nine Hells are built on law, corruption, and ambition — and at the top of it all sits a throne no one has yet been able to claim.
