In this video I go over the lore of the infernal hierarchy of the Nine Hells, including how a soul gets turned into a devil and the promotion process of a devil. I cover the differences (changes/discrepancies/retcons/etc.) it has undergone through all 5 editions of Dungeons & Dragons, so that you can pick and choose which variations of lore you like the best and want to implement in your game.
