The last plane of law, the Seven Cities of Hell was among the lowest of the lower planes. [1]
A realm of devils proud of their civilization, the Seven Cities were each ruled by an archduke who schemes to ascend to the Throne of Hell. Living in a world of bureaucratic law, the devil denizens of Hell have little interest in other planes. Life is so much more interesting down here. [1]
The seven dukes of hell conspired together once, agreeing to create the Order of Desolation, also known as the illriggers. Doing so was meant to extend their power into the Timescape, and to defend the Seven Cities from the demon hordes below.[1]
Bureaucracy
Workers of hell's civil service, or, as it was better known "the trade", spend their days hoping or scheming for promotion[2]. Draconian chains of command placed each devil in service to a higher authority - typically a more powerful devil.
While lawful, they were always looking for another way up the ladder, being able to twist every rule and take advantage of any loophole in order to gain power [3]. A quick path up was through the Exchange.
Exchange
Mortals in the Mundane World who performed the right rituals could summon a devil (who signed up for the service ahead of time), who bargained with the supplicant on behalf of their archdevil. Archdevils could grant temporary worldly power in exchange for a supplicant's soul, with the summoned devil acting as a broker.[2]
