I was hoping someone could help illuminate some D&D lore for me (and I suppose anyone else who decides to ask questions here too).
My question is this; in Baator (= the Nine Hells?) does time flow at the same rate as that of the Prime Material Plane (or indeed, any Plane at all?) or do they follow their own independent time streams. Also; where exactly does the Prime Material Plane 'finish', it is my understanding that it extends far beyond lets say the 'solar system' of Faerun (if that is the planet's name).
I have a bit of a headcanon for a warlock character in that he is his own patron, not that he knows this. The idea being that, born as a tiefling and have grown up being subjected to the prejudices against Tieflings all his life, he begins to believe that he is fated for Hell regardless, so he decides to embrace it. In a self-fulfilling prophecy, he comes in contact with a Devil (those are the lawful evil ones yes?) who makes him promises, and he willfully submits. When he becomes convinced that he would become a Lemure, he embraces his nature even more fully to try and 'work off' this fate and to be promoted, upon his death, to a higher level devil and skip the basic level.
I was wondering if this headcanon is at all possible.
Cheers for any assistance/guidance you can offer.
