Hell

A hell is kind of low-life bar where the customers are rough, ragged and have no scruples. The term is first mentioned in The Great Hunt when Yarin Maeldan says to Bayle Domon "[The crew] are all aboard but three I couldn't find, Captain. I've spread the word through every tavern, hell, and crib in the quarter." The term is not mentioned again until becomes more central to the plot in the chapter A Hell in Madeirin. 
Matrim Cauthon's desription of a hell is as follows:
==Events==
Mat brought Tuon to a place called The White Ring, claiming it was a hell. Although Tuon and Selucia were convinced that it was a hell, it was not.
==Trivia==
The name is obviously derived from the Christian Hell, presumably because of it being an undesireable place to be and filled with thieves, murderers and various other sinners. It does not appear to have any origin in real-life terms for drinking establishments.
