The '''Whore Queens''' - also known by the more polite moniker of "The Queens of the Night" - are a group of four female [[archdevil]]s and demigoddesses native to the [[Pathfinder]] version of [[Baator]]. Each of the Whore Queens is a female figure who entered the Hellish hierarchy believing that she would attain greater power and respect in Hell than in the other realms they had once dwelled in - all bar one, Mahathallah, were originally [[archangel]]s who came to believe Heaven's strictures were too much for them to bear. Unfortunately for them, [[Asmodeus]] in the Pathfinder cosmology is a shameless misogynist, and as such each found their possibilities for political advancement sharply curtailed. | The '''Whore Queens''' - also known by the more polite moniker of "The Queens of the Night" - are a group of four female [[archdevil]]s and demigoddesses native to the [[Pathfinder]] version of [[Baator]].

The Whore Queens - also known by the more polite moniker of "The Queens of the Night" - are a group of four female archdevils and demigoddesses native to the Pathfinder version of Baator. Each of the Whore Queens is a female figure who entered the Hellish hierarchy believing that she would attain greater power and respect in Hell than in the other realms they had once dwelled in - all bar one, Mahathallah, were originally archangels who came to believe Heaven's strictures were too much for them to bear. Unfortunately for them, Asmodeus in the Pathfinder cosmology is a shameless misogynist, and as such each found their possibilities for political advancement sharply curtailed.
Thus, none of the Whore Queens is one of the "true" powers of Hell, having no planar layers to call their own. However, they have scraped together physical power enough to shame all but the mightiest of Infernal Dukes, and their cults easily approach those of the Archdukes in size and prominence. They don't really "get along," per se, but none of them find the others too distasteful to work with, and none of their goals are mutually exclusive. Also, only one of them puts out, but only one of them actually cares enough to feel grumpy at being called "Whore," so...
The Whore Queens were first detailed in "Princes of Darness", the first of the three "Book of the Damned" splatbooks, and focused on the Devils. They were subsequently reprinted in the singular Book of the Damned hardcover.
