Hell

Hell was an major outer plane that was a structured labyrinth of calculated evil where torment went hand in hand with purification. It was a plane of iron walls, burning wastelands, fierce rivers, piles of snakes and punished souls. The nine layers of Hell were nested, with the lower levels completely surrounded by the higher ones. Torture, anguish, and agony were inevitable in Hell, but they were methodical, not spiteful or capricious, and served a deliberate master plan under the watchful eyes of the disciplined devils and Asmodeus himself.
Evil souls arrived in Hell and went through a process of torture that turns them into devils. Hell was a necessary evil for the universe. It was the most efficient method found for executing justice upon the afterlife. Asmodeus and his invasions of other planes were tolerated by the other gods because of the services he provided.
Devils filled the nine layers of Hell, though certain fiends were more common on specific layers than others, their specialized duties or status placing them on certain layers. The only other main inhabitant of Hell were tortured mortal souls. Each layer had a difference environment and the barrier between the layers was usually a supernaturally strong river. Souls could often be seen in various stages of the transition from soul to devil.

== The High Priority Corridor ==
The High Priority Corridor, known colloquially as the Superhighway, was a road that goes through all layers of Hell. There was no known start point to the Superhighway but it ended at the throne of Asmodeus. It was designed by the Prince of Darkness to expedite transportation of the Devil Army for invasions and attacks. It is guarded by huge iron gates at the borders between each layer.Category:Locations
