Notluna

**Notluna**, the Endless Winter, is the Wonao equivalent of Hell. It is usually the domain of all evil, and the punishment of the worst offenders and criminals in the afterlife.

It may had been derived from very harsh winters that killed their people, including one that started a great war where Motakol was born into. Notluna was traditionally associated with the endless ice wastes of the far north, Velskeprodia.

This was also the prison of many Darotilau, or Celestials, stripped of their powers and turned into demons.

## Locations in Notluna

### Vaivura, Vaivukara

Two volcano cities that burst from the northern reaches of Notluna. They represent war and hate, the prisons of the souls of war criminals and murderers. The fiery demons of Vaivura's peaks wage an eternal war against the ice demons that ravage the endless wastes, creating blizzards and thunderstorms.

### Vaivurin, Vajavol

More volcanoes in Notluna, among the few sources of light and heat. They instead burn mortals and souls with hellfire.

Those are the domain of savage monsters and demons.

### Džōnogom

The Great Silence, the vast plain of ice and ash at the middle of furthest north of Notluna. Also used as a name for Hell.

### Jeltæuri

The House of Pain, a great mansion hidden by snow where the screams of evil people can be heard among the howling winds.

The halls of Jeltæuri are yellow and brightly-lit, but every room has one prisoner who is tortured and repeatedly revived for the sin they committed in life. The structure of the Prison of Jeltaeuri may have been the inspiration of the blocktown prisons in modern Bujan.

It has only a single man inside, Bintoddamak the Butcher, who is their sole executioner. He is able to project himself to every soul imprisoned in his mansion, yet in reality there is only one Bintodmak. He feasts on the blood and meat of some of the souls, knowing they will instantly be revived in full health on the next day, which begins when the last soul dies. But he also enjoys eating and chewing upon the flesh of demons and evil creatures that are unfortunate enough to walk into his mansion's doors.

No evil soul actually dies in Jeltaeuri, due to a magical curse upon every evil person thrown inside its walls. However, demons that enter and get killed there are never revived.

It is one of several destinations where evil souls go to after their deaths, especially sadists and people who enjoy traumatising others.

With the arrival of the Internet, Jeltæuri is also the hell where online criminals and bullies go to after their deaths, should they fail to undo their crimes by compensating their victims. In fact, whenever a bully dies, and he did not apologise or pay any compensation to his victim, Wonaos would throw a party and wish for his soul to be sent to one of Jeltæuri's rooms.

The estimated number of souls that can be held in each room of Jeltaeuri is around 400,000. No new evil souls are added until any room is empty, usually when any of the souls' terms expires, ranging from one month to as long as 40,000 years. Those who are thrown out of Jeltaeuri regain their flesh, and rags grow to cover their bodies as they struggle to survive the cold. Their end at last, is to be killed or eaten by the demons lurking in the icy wastes.
