Kokytos is one of three alternative planes that can be travelled to, along with The Void and Inferno. It is the home realm of ice devils.

• Certain random events may banish commanders to Kokytos
• Being hit by the Claws of Kokytos spell

Being in Kokytos is hazardous to anyone who makes it there. Each turn, the following things happen ¹⁾:

• Any non-commanders in Kokytos instantly die without any means of survival.
• All units in Kokytos are struck for 1d20 (exploding) AN Cold damage.
• There is a 75% chance that the commander comes under attack by various cold-themed creatures (all die rolls may explode). Battles here are under the effects of Grip of Winter and count as assassination battles, so the banished commander's script is disregarded.

• Irrespective of being attacked or not, the chance of returning is rolled next. This is 8% plus any Kokytos returning modifiers, such as those possessed by unique ice devil commanders and those granted by certain items.
• Upon returning, there is a 10% chance of gaining +1 water magic. This cannot occur for units with 4 or higher already.
• When returning, there is a 50% to return in a province belonging to the owner of the lost unit. If not successful, a province is picked at random. In either case, the returning unit immediately drowns if appropriate, and then attacks the province if it is hostile.
