Editing Planescape (section)

====[[Hades|The Gray Wastes of Hades]]====
Neutral Evil.
The Three Glooms are desolate lands where all color is muted to shades of gray. Visitors soon find their own color fading away, and their ambition soon follows, leaving them empty husks, devoid of emotion. The yugoloths are a powerful force on this plane (they are in fact actually native to the Gray Wastes, it's just that the General of Gehenna decided to move most of Yugoloth kind to Gehenna, though the Oinoloth and those that followed him stayed put), but the night [[hag]]s and their larvae trade are the real power here; just don't tell that to the Oinoloth unless you enjoy getting super-syphilis (because AIDS just isn't unpleasant enough), as the throne in his dark tower grants him total mastery of disease on the plane and lets him spring up plagues from the dirt that make mummy rot look positively pleasant. It's so fucking depressing that spending too long on it without having decent spell resistance will make you too depressed to remember who you are or have the will to leave the place.

It's also the primary battlefield in the [[Blood War]], just in case you wanted another reason to keep away. The [[tanar'ri]] and [[baatezu]] use the Gray Waste to slaughter each other in droves here (as well as anything/anyone stupid enough to visit what can be referred to as the anus of the multiverse), as its metaphysical location is halfway between that of Baator and the Abyss.
