Hell

**Hell**, also called the Hells, Fel (Hes.), Baraba (Org.), and the Dark Realm, is a Plane infamous for being the supposed birthplace and home of the Daemonas. It is a turbulent dimension, existing as a collection of inter-planar dimensions known as "Spheres". Hell itself, as explained by the Keeper, is a system of Planar highways leading to different, smaller Planes, all assimilated into the whole. She compares it to the vast and intricate tunnels of ant colonies, with Hell being the entirety of several planes forming together.

## Spheres of Hell

The many Spheres of Hell are a collection of various Planes, each linked through Hellgate "roads". Each Sphere can contain countless star systems and worlds, each connected in some way to Hell.

## Aspects

A centerpoint of Hell's cultural diversity is the Qliphoth and its' aspects. Qliphoth is the sin-based energy that fuels Demonic Magick and serves as the central tenet of their belief system of self-preservation and indulgence. The aspects of the Qliphoth are:

* **Pride** - The leading aspect of Qliphoth, Pride is often the most commanding force in Hell and every denizen feels its' influence. Pride Daemons are generally more powerful by nature than their brethren and, for this reason, command more authority. Pride offers Daemons both enhanced Magickal potential and above average intellect, making them a tactically dangerous foe to contend with. Their realm of dominion is Abyssos, ruled by Dread-King Bael.

* **Envy** - One of the more insidious of the Qliphoth's aspects, Envy is the conspirator of treachery and works best at obtaining its' ends through deceit and cunning. For this reason, Demons of Envy are less trusted than most and often serve as spies, assassins, and thieves. They hold dominion over Shadowcraft, Dark Sight, poisons, and many Illusion-based Magicks. Their realm is Sokkrath, ruled by Deep-Queen Leviathan.

* **Wrath** - Of all the aspects of the Qliphoth, Wrath is by far the most destructive. Oppression and rage are the facets of Wrath, and Wrath Demons' powers tend to be fueled and/or amplified by anger. Wrath Demons serve as footsoldiers, shock troops, bodyguards, and many other military functions through Hell. Their domains are Red Magick, fire, and the Blood Arts. Their realm of influence is Skorvis, ruled by Amon Darkfire.

* **Greed** - While considered by Demonologists to be the most passive and fluid aspect, Greed is no less deadly and can disarm those unfortunate enough to underestimate it with charms and desires. Greed is known to be the most manipulative of the aspects, working not through brute force or corruption but by using a victim's own desires against them. Greed Demons are usually more intelligent than most, serving as effective commanders, Casters, and spies. Their domains are gold, Enchantments, and Forgecraft. Their realm is Fel-Korm, a technological center and opulent haven ruled by Prince Mammon.

* **Sloth** -

* **Lust** -

* **Gluttony** -

## Isrika

Qliphoth-born sentient spirits, Isrika - also called "Avatars of Sin" - are created when a tragedy or catastrophe of some kind causes the residual sin energy to concentrate in a particular Aspect, leading to it gestating an Isrika. Isrika can manifest as personages of different Aspects, such as Rage for Wrath or Apathy for Sloth.
