Once a mighty angel charged with watching the tides of the Blood War, she succumbed to the plane’s corrupting influence and fell from grace. She recently reclaimed her position as archdevil of Avernus after the cautious Bel proved inadequate at marshaling his forces to launch offensives against the encroaching demons. Now Bel advises her and helps her manage the war, though many whisper that her true agenda is vengeance against Asmodeus, and her true plan is to drive him from the Nine Hells.  \nAll who enter and exit the Nine Hells must pass through Avernus, so the infernal armies muster on this layer. Here, the amnizus guard the citadels overlooking the River Styx, much of the fighting of the Blood War takes place, and devils gather to invade the Abyss. Anyone hoping to reach the lower layers must first contend  \nwith the darkness of this layer and the myriad threats it houses. Zariel manages it all and has the ultimate say over who comes and goes.  \nGiven her role in the Blood War, Zariel is keenly interested in collecting souls from the greatest warriors on the Material Plane and securing their loyalty. She bargains hard, and mortals end up worse for dealing with her, because she holds all the cards. A bargain with Zariel is eternal; there is little hope of wriggling out of it. However, she does expect the best from her servants, and so she allows her mortal followers to live out their lives, ever honing their talents, so she can put them to the best use when she finally calls in their debts. As a result, Zariel’s servants are universally effective, disciplined, and dangerous.  \nZariel  \nLarge fiend (devil), lawful evil  \nArmor Class 21 (natural armor) Hit Points 580 (40d10 + 360) Speed 50 ft., fly 150 ft.  \nSTR  \n27 (+8)  \nDEX  \n24 (+7)  \nCON  \n28 (+9)  \nINT  \n26 (+8)  \nWIS  \n27 (+8)  \nCHA  \n30 (+10)  \nSaving Throws Int +16, Wis +16, Cha +18  \nSkills Intimidation +18, Perception +16  \nDamage Resistances cold, fire, radiant; bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from nonmagical attacks that aren’t silvered  \nDamage Immunities necrotic, poison  \nCondition Immunities charmed, exhaustion, frightened, poisoned  \nSenses darkvision 120 ft. , passive Perception 26  \nLanguages all, telepathy 120 ft. Challenge 26 (90,000 XP)  \nDevil’s Sight. Magical darkness doesn’t impede Zariel’s darkvision.  \nFiery Weapons. Zariel’s weapon attacks are magical. When she hits with any weapon, the weapon deals an extra 36 (8d8) fire damage (included in the weapon attacks below).  \nInnate Spellcasting. Zariel’s innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 26). She can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:  \nAt will: alter self(can become Medium when changing her appearance), detect evil and good, fireball, invisibility (self only), wall offire  \n3/day each: blade barrier, dispel evil and good, finger of death Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If Zariel fails a saving throw, she can choose to succeed instead.  \nMagic Resistance. Zariel has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.  \nRegeneration. Zariel regains 20 hit points at the start of her turn. If she takes radiant damage, this trait doesn’t function atthe start of her next turn. Zariel dies only if she starts her turn with 0 hit points and doesn’t regenerate.  \nActions  \nMultiattack. Zariel attacks twice with her longsword or with her javelins. She can substitute Horrid Touch for one of these attacks.  \nLongsword. Melee Weapon Attack: +16 to hit, reach 10 ft. , one target. Hit: 17 (2d8 + 8) slashing damage, or 19 (2d10 + 8) slashing damage if used with two hands, plus 36 (8d8) fire damage.  \nJavelin.
