Though the Abyss is commonly believed to have 666 layers, many sages believe the true number to be infinite; of course, as there is no rhyme and reason to their interconnections, keeping track of these layers and determining a solid count at first seems as though it may be impossible. Fighting this belief is a millennium-old project founded by Factol Clarille herself, founder of the Fraternity of Order, within months of the formation of her faction. To keep track of the various layers, she instituted a project that would enumerate and describe every layer of the Abyss as it was reported to them, a project that would result in a single definitive listing. This listing, known today as the Abyssal Compendium, has now become the standard reference for Abyssal layers, the central source for both name and number (number assigned according to when the faction first received a definitive and accurate description of each layer).
Presently, 679 distinct layers have been recorded, with 141 known to be both survivable and habitable in the long term by planars[1]. Here then is a portion of the Abyssal Compendium as of now, a list of all recorded layers of the Abyss alongside their layer number and the demon prince, deity, or other entity that rules each layer.
