Hell

This is where the souls of the dead arrive for eternal damnation. It is also the domain of Satan, the overlord of the dead. It is believed to be a mythical place by the living. Any information about the realm is scarce and hence it is a mystery even to the beings who are confident of its existence.

## Region

It is situated in a separate dimension and is completely sealed from the realm of the living. The region is filled with fire and lava.

The realm is also filled with a heavy death breath that is unique to Hell. This air empowers the dead while at the same time it is extremely poisonous to the living, especially to the creatures of light. Overall, it is a place of eternal suffering for the dammed soul, where the light is never seen. Its potency is increased if magic or aura is unleashed in its presence.

Overall, Hell is a red world that is full of blood and fire.

## Power Structure

The realm is governed and ruled by Satan, who is not only the most powerful being in the dimension but rules as its absolute overlord. He is also aided by his apostles and the generals of his legions.

## Residents

Hell is populated by all kinds of dammed souls of various races. It also holds the souls of beings that sold their souls to Satan for favours. Because of the type of people who have died, Hell is populated by extraordinarily strong souls who, if ever released, would wreck chaos in the land of the living.

## Society

***Motto: "We are willing to dedicate our souls to the great Satan and become the minions of hell. Our souls will burn forever in the fire of karma without fear.".***

The society of Hell closely resembles the Demon's way of life. In this realm, strength dictates one status and position while the weak exist purely for the amusement of the strong.

Due to this, Hell has horrible living conditions, causing many dammed souls to look for a way to escape back into the realm of the living.

## Strengths

#### Satan

He is a primordial being whose strength is beyond comprehension. To beings that know of his existence, they consider him to be so powerful that he can easily destroy the world.

#### Hell's Apostles

These are a group of souls of various beings who have acknowledged Satan as their overlord and act as his sword and shield. The members of this group are beings who were considered monsters even when they were alive in the realm of the living.

#### Hell's Legion

This is the army of Hell that consists of souls belonging to various powerful beings that have died and come to hell. Its ranks are bolstered by many saint-ranked souls capable of bringing to ruin any nation in the land of the living with ease. Each legion is commanded by generals who are themselves extremely powerful beings.

Known legions of Hell include:

* Burning Legion of Hell (*Strongest Legion*)

#### Hell's Emissary

These are creatures that scout the realm of the living to find and recruit powerful beings into Satan's Army.

#### Hell's Representative

These are living beings who not only formed a contract with Satan but also sold their soul to him in exchange for power, wealth, or eternal youth. They act as Hell's representative in the land of the living and do Satan's bidding.

## Weakness

#### Isolated Realm

As Hell is a completely sealed off dimension, there is no straightforward way to travel between Hell and the Land of Living. Due to this, travel can only occur through Hell's Gate located in the living realm. But these gates can only be opened by a living being from the side of the living. Due to this, Satan and his forces are entirely dependent on these weak creatures to set up a passage to the realm of the living. For this reason, Satan, and his apostles occasionally form contracts with the living to carry out this goal, and if they fail their goal, Hell must again look for another suitable candidate for the job.

#### Necromancy

As the residents of Hell are all souls, they require a living necromancer to summon their soul to the land of the living. But this is possible if the necromancer can find the spirit's bones for the summoning ritual. Even then, they can only exist in the land of the living as an undead.

#### Eternally Bound

The souls of Hell are eternally bound to it. Due to this even if their undead body is destroyed in the living realm, their souls return to hell. Therefore, the souls of Hell are dammed for eternity.

## Trivia
