With more specific information on the Barrens of Doom and Despair specifically comes further information about what one might expect in the afterlife as a worshipper of Bane, Bhaal, Loviatar, Hoar, and sometimes Tiamat:
Each malicious mortal spirit that comes to the Barrens of Doom and Despair becomes a special form of petitioner called a larva. Larvae appear as Medium worms with heads that resemble those of their mortal bodies. Larvae serve as the currency of the fiendish planes, especially among night hags, liches, demons, devils, and yugoloths. Most are used as food as to power spells, but occasionally a larva is promoted to some kind of fiend, usually a lemure or dretch.
And honestly, being a lemure or dretch is... not really an improvement: I'm pretty sure Bane and Loviatar are served by higher ranking fiends, though, so I assume you might be able to get promoted to higher ranking fiends... but if you break the laws that govern devils as set by Baator then your deity is actually forced to forfeit ownership of you to one of the Archdevils.
(Withers let me resurrect Orin right now! I'm not sure regular Bhaalspawn rules apply to her generation)
