It's a matter of some contention where to place The Infernal Battlefield of [[Acheron]] and The Windswept Depths of [[Pandemonium]], as these occupy an intermediate point between Evil and Neutral, and so some maps will place them as part of the Lower Planes and others as part of the [[Middle Planes]].
