== Overview == | |||
Avernus is ruled by Archduke {{CharLink|Zariel}}. Avernus has been the primary battleground of the Blood War, the war between the Demons of the Abyss, and the Devils of the Nine Hells. | |||
During the [[Prologue]] sequence of [[Baldur's Gate 3]], the player character ''technically'' starts the game in Avernus because by the time the player character awakes, the Nautiloid ship they are on is travelling through that plane. Parts of the Avernus landscape can be seen through specific "openings" in the ship walls. | |||
Later on, in [[Act Three]] the party can travel to {{CharLink|Raphael|Raphael's}} home in Avernus, the [[House of Hope]]. | |||
