Sloth Ring

"*Elevator 666 departing for Sloth, the number one vacation spot in all the seven rings.*"
— Elevator 666's intercom about the Sloth Ring.

The **Sloth Ring**, also known as **Sloth**, is the seventh and lowest ring of Hell that made its first appearance in the Season 4 episode, "Dinner and a Show".

Much Hell's other rings sans the Pride Ring, Sloth is inaccessible for sinners, as they are confined to Pride.

## Description

The Sloth Ring is an advanced and futuristic ring with a light pink colored sky and "Zzz" shaped clouds. Sloth has many floating islands throughout its skyline with buildings suspended on top, with purple waterfalls and some trees on them. Built for luxury and convenience, Sloth is heavily populated with robots ever ready to serve the denizen's every command. Sloth has indisputably the most advanced level of technology available in Hell, with self-driving cars, advanced sentient robots, holograms, spacecrafts, and hoverchairs dominating the landscape and skies. The cities are suffocated by an unyielding number of advertisements and consumer products such as phones, *Belphe-Tech* products, laptops, and mattress stores. The ring has an appearance akin to a luxury cruise liner, with shops, restaurants, and swimming pools being found everywhere. *Belphe-Tech* combat droids, such as Scavenger Units, often patrol the street to keep order and maintain the King of Sloth's laws.

Due to its luxurious amenities and varying climates, Sloth is viewed is a very popular vacation spot in Hell, and the home to many retired demons and a vast number of Hell's upper crust, including many members of the Ars Goetia.

Sloth is also viewed as the medical hub of Hell, and manufactures a great deal of Hell's drugs, whether they be medical or street drugs, such as Happy Pills and Sleepy Pillz. It is also the only ring of Hell with any type of medical service in general.

Most of Sloth's denizens are very lazy, depressed, detached from reality, illiterate, drugged out of their minds and dependent on Sloth's robotic population to help them with every single little thing in their day-to-day lives.

The Sloth Ring is widely known for its extremely oppressive laws against Hellhounds, such as enforcing that every Hellhound wear a shock collar that electrocutes them whenever they experience intense emotions. While most of the Sloth Ring (notably Dreamsville) is incredibly rich, Belphegor's prejudice towards Hellhounds has left many of Sloth's Hellhound population impoverished and largely neglected, leading to a high rate of homeless Hellhounds who will likely be taken by the Hellhound Adoption Foundation.

## Trivia

* The Sloth Ring was inspired by the idea of dystopian, sci-fi futures depicted in pop culture.
	+ The billboards in the Sloth Ring labelled "BIG BEL IS WATCHING U" along with a *Belphe-Tech* officer robot saying "You have violated Belphegor Law 266678" are both references to the dystopian sci-fi novel *Nineteen Eighty-Four*.
* The Sloth Ring always has synthwave/dreamwave and lo-fi hip hop music blaring throughout its cities, giving the ring an ethereal and dreamlike feel.
* The cause of the purple waterfalls seen throughout the Sloth Ring are due to water from the Envy Ring's endless oceans leaking into the ring below. Belphegor was able to adapt to this and used the sounds and presence of the waterfalls as a means to relax and sedate Sloth's denizens.
* According to Elevator 666's intercom, Sloth Ring has a 99% unemployment rate and is the most popular vacation spot in the Hell.
* The Sloth Ring's "sky" is actually a massive screen which can be manipulated by a computer to display different kinds of weather, with elements such as snow and rain being produced by machines, giving the denizens the illusion of weather.
* According to an advertisement for *Belphe-Tech*, the Sloth Ring produces and distributes the majority of Hell's technology.
* The Sloth Ring is the only ring of Hell that is known to have snowy climates.
* In addition to being the medical hub of Hell, Sloth is also the top administrator for vehicle registration and driver's licenses. Unfortunately, due to the employees being lazy and drugged out of their minds, progress at Sloth's DMVs is nearly stagnant, with a wait time of over 10-15 hours providing the employees do their job correctly.
* The majority of the Sloth Ring's populace are candle-headed Baphomet/goat demons.
* All films and TV shows in the Sloth Ring are A.I-written and A.I-made.
