Manual of the Planes

 

Caina outdoes Stygia in its heartless cold nature,
for it is a layer of ice.
Travelers entering this AREA suffer the effects of -60 degree <°> weather (see the WSG) <link> for as long as they remain in the realm.
Caina is a region of huge glaciers moving past mountains of slower-moving ice.
Snow and sleet <sleet, at -60? guess so> are continual companions in this layer. <make links to both>
The devilish ruler of this plane is Mephistopheles.
 

Frequency of Devils on Caina (The 8th Hell)
Ruler = Mephistopheles Abishai = 0 Arch = VVR Barbed = 0 Bearded = 0 Bone = 0 Erinyes = 0 Horned = VR
Ice = C Nupperibo = C Fiend = R <alt> Spined = U Styx = 0 Achaierai = VR Barghest = R Daemon = VR
Hell Cat = R Hell Hound = 0 Hoardling = 0 Imp = VR Lemure = C Mephit = U Nightmare = VR Rakshasa = VR
Stench Kow = U - - - - - - -

Along those lines, was there any reason for switching the ice-cold 9th circle of Dante's Inferno for the frozen (IIRC) 8th plane of the nine hells?

Mere poetic license, as a frozen last layer did not strike me as appropriate for a S&S model of the hells.
