I'm currently putting together a list of the layers of the Abyss, and I need your help. I'm using what books I have on hand, but I'm sure that there are some listed in other sources that I don't have with me at the moment. In particular, I don't have the map from the campaign setting with me that has a list of some of the Abyssal layers printed on the back. Here's what I have so far.

Yes, I put a damn lot of work into that one. It only has the Planes of Chaos ones though so yours is more useful.

Actually Primus, your list was more detailed than mine. Since I had to look through a few sources to get what I came up with, I put as little info as I could get away with, cause it was alot of typing.
