Eldanoth was first mentioned in Faces of Evil: The Fiends (1997).[1]
Eldanoth received further details in third edition in Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss (2006).[2]
Eldanoth looks like a smiling tiefling with snakes for fingers. He often leaves his body in his copper fortress while he astral projects himself into the Prime Material Plane, where he recruits new followers.
A former servant of Orcus, Eldanoth left after his patron's death at the hands of Kiaransalee and claimed an abandoned Abyssal layer as his own. He seeks to become a power of crime and hatred. He has become something of a folk hero in Orcus's realm of Thanatos, where his agents work to sabotage Orcus's plans.
Eldanoth's realm, the Arch of Eternity, is listed as the 359th layer of the Abyss. It is a blasted plain where a copper fortress has risen from a rent in the earth. Outside, snakes and manes gather to honor the new lord.
Eldanoth is worshiped by criminals.
Eldanoth's worship includes the ritual sacrifice of criminals, whose spirits are said to feed Eldanoth's strength.
